For the first time after the outbreak of COVID-19, China reported no coronavirus deaths on Tuesday.
The National Health Commission said it had 32 confirmed cases, down from 39 on Monday, reports the BBC.
All of the confirmed cases were imported, it added.
Total number of coronavirus cases in China as of Tuesday was 82,697, while the death toll stood at 3,335.
Although other countries like the US and Italy have surpassed China in terms of both cases and deaths, the Asian giant was concerned that a second wave of infections could be brought in by foreign arrivals.
It has already shut its border to foreigners including those with visas or residence permits, the BBC reported.
International flights have been reduced with both Chinese and foreign airlines only allowed to operate one international flight a week.
Flights must not be more than 75 per cent full, according to the government.
