The other two remaining cases of the 99 announced on Sunday were locals from the northeastern province of Heilongjiang.
Coronavirus cases imported into the mainland from abroad has sparked a wave of concerns in China.
Beijing had put a temporary ban on the entry of foreign citizens into the country on March 28. However, the restriction has not been able to contain the number of imported cases that currently stands at 1,280.
Many Chinese have returned home from abroad since the pandemic originated in the country last December. This has led to a rise in the number of imported cases in the last few weeks as many had travelled from other hotspots of the virus.
Meanwhile, the number of patients cured and discharged stands at 50 in the 24 hours from Saturday morning along with the 99 new infections, thus taking the number of active cases in the country to 1,138.
