A Chinese student studying in the United States has been accused of triggering a cluster of coronavirus cases involving dozens in north-eastern China after flying home from New York. 
At least 70 people have been infected and more than 4,000 are being tested in Harbin after the virus was 'imported' into the city by the 22-year-old, known by her surname Han, according to Chinese media. 
Although most of the infections have been linked to a hospitalised 87-year-old man, known as Chen, Harbin's health officials have named Han as the likely source of the local crisis.

Han tested negative during isolation after landing in her hometown, but local health officials said her two recent tests in April showed she had coronavirus antibodies, which indicated a previous infection. 
Officials suggested that Han spread the bug to one of her neighbours, whom she never met during her quarantine, by polluting the public space.
Her neighbour, Cao, then pass the virus on to various others, who in turn transmitted it to Chen.  
Chen then spread the virus to dozens others, including at least seven medical workers, reported multiple media outlets, including Southern Urban Daily.  
Although it still remains unclear when Han had the infection, Chinese media outlets have billed her as a 'super-spreader'. s

Her hometown Harbin, which has around 10 million people, is the capital of Heilongjiang province.
The province, which borders Russia, has reported a total of 530 cases since the outbreak began in December, according to its latest statement. 
The news comes amid fears that people arriving from abroad and carriers without symptoms could trigger a fresh outbreak in China.
It also comes as Chinese cities appear to be downplaying native transmissions, but highlighting 'imported cases'.
Out of the 60 people who had been diagnosed in Harbin as of Sunday, 21 were silent carriers who showed no symptoms but could pass on the virus to others, according to Beijing Daily. 
The hospitals in Harbin were arranging 4,106 people to be tested in response to the cluster infections, the report said.
The Second Hospital of Harbin halted its operation yesterday after all of the six cases the city registered on Sunday were said to be related to the hospital.


According to the Harbin Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Han is a Master's student at New York University in New York. Her parents and brother live in Harbin.
Han arrived in her hometown at around 6pm on March 19 after flying out of New York the day before with stopovers in Hong Kong and Beijing.
She was met by health workers at the Harbin Taiping International Airport and immediately put under home isolation.
On March 31, she was escorted by community officials to a hospital to undergo a nucleic acid test.
She passed her quarantine on April 3 after her test result came back negative on the same day.
Han and her family went out to have meals with other relatives on April 3 and April 4.
She then travelled to Shanghai and spent three nights there to undergo a surgical operation, Li Xikun, an official from the Harbin CDC told Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.

The local health authority contacted Han for another test on April 10 after one of her neighbours, Cao, was identified as an asymptomatic case who showed no symptoms.
The result showed Han was negative in IgM, but positive in IgG. It indicated that she was likely to have been infected at some point in the past. 
Another test, carried out on April 11, showed the same result.
Han and her family members have been put under quarantine in a hotel.
With the number of new cases dropping sharply in China but soaring abroad, China now views the coronavirus as a 'foreign' problem.
Officials have been flaunting their triumph in stemming the outbreak so quickly, and rejecting any claim that describes Wuhan as the birthplace of the pandemic. 

As the result of a ban on international flights arriving in Beijing, the Air China jet landed on Monday in the provincial capital of Xi'an, where the virus was detected by medical staff running tests at the airport, and confirmed on Tuesday.
All those infected were Chinese nationals.
New imported infections in mainland China fell to four cases on Monday, the National Health Commission said, the lowest since March 12.
The coronavirus outbreak has killed 4,632 people and infected 82,758 in China, according to the latest figures from its National Health Commission.
Worldwide, the pandemic has claimed more than 171,000 lives and infected over 2.5 million.
