a 2nd 3rd or further waves then. well this doesn't mean that those fears are gone by any measures so a milestone today no new cases that means no imported cases no asymptomatic cases according to official figures but china is not out of the woods yet we do know that there are at least 2 active clusters of the corinna virus 5 or 6 cases were identified some weeks ago in one hand the at the center of the outbreak and that's a citywide testing schemes are millions have been tested in the last few weeks and perhaps more worrying for authorities is a cluster in jilin province which is in china's north east and there have been more than 100 cases identified there recently and actually 2 small cities have been put into lockdown. lockdown with some residential compound sealed off and travel restricted in and out of those cities are definitely while it is
10:03 am
