China's Wuhan reports no new infections for five consecutive days: official

Wuhan, the epicenter of the COVID-19 epidemic, Monday marked its fifth day in a row of zero new confirmed cases, a Chinese health official said Monday.

However, zero new cases does not mean there is no risk, Mi Feng, an official with the National Health Commission (NHC), said at a press conference in Beijing.

There are still potential risks of spreading and even cluster outbreaks, Mi said.
