Business Insider: China reported its lowest number of new coronavirus cases since the outbreak began as other countries struggle to contain the spread
* China reported 40 new coronavirus cases on Monday, the lowest since the government began releasing infection data, Reuters reported.
* At its peak, it was reporting as many as 4,000 new cases a day.
* China has been seeing a gradual decrease in the number of new coronavirus infections, further suggesting the country is turning a corner with the disease.
* Nonetheless, a top Chinese official said the country would neither be "blindly optimistic" nor suffer from "war-weariness" against the virus, according to Reuters.
China reported just 40 new coronavirus cases on Monday, Reuters reported, marking the lowest increase since the country began releasing nationwide figures about the disease in January.
The figure reflects a slowing of the disease in China that has held since early March, when the number of people recovered from the virus overtook the number of people infected.
Reuters reported that 36 of the 40 new cases are in Wuhan, the city where the virus originated and where the vast majority of the world's more-than-111,000 cases have been concentrated. The other four new cases were imported from Iran, which has been hit hard by the virus.
