China reported 11 new COVID-19 cases and seven asymptomatic cases for June 12, the national health authority said on Saturday.
The National Health Commission (NHC) said in a statement that five of the new confirmed patients were so-called imported cases involving travellers from overseas.
The six locally transmitted cases were all in Beijing, the statement said.
The NHC reported seven confirmed cases and one asymptomatic case a day earlier.
The total number of COVID-19 cases in mainland China now stands at 83 075, while the death toll remained unchanged at 4 634.
China does not count asymptomatic patients, who are infected with the virus but do not display symptoms, as confirmed cases.
