Eleven of those domestic cases were in the northeast province of Jilin and one in Hubei province, whose capital Wuhan is considered to have been the original epicentre of the global pandemic.
Jilin shares a border with North Korea, where the virus situation is unclear.
No new virus deaths have been reported in China for almost a month and the number of people in treatment for COVID-19 nationwide fell to 148, with another 798 under isolation.
China has reported a total of 4,633 total death 82,901 cases. The jump in new cases could fuel concerns over how quickly to lift strict social distancing measures and reopen schools and other public institutions. Widely disseminated photos of people socializing in Shanghai’s bar district over the weekend drew some criticism online.
