SHANGHAI (Reuters) -&nbsp;China&nbsp;reported no&nbsp;new&nbsp;COVID-19&nbsp;deaths&nbsp;for&nbsp;Dec&nbsp;20, compared with five the previous&nbsp;day, but the nation's fatalities were revised to 5,241 after removing one death in Beijing, the National Health Commission said on Wednesday.
The country reported 3,101&nbsp;new&nbsp;symptomatic&nbsp;COVID&nbsp;infections on&nbsp;Dec.&nbsp;20&nbsp;, compared with 2,722 a&nbsp;day&nbsp;earlier.
Excluding imported infections,&nbsp;China&nbsp;reported 3,049&nbsp;new&nbsp;local cases, up from 2,656 a&nbsp;day&nbsp;earlier.
As of&nbsp;Dec.&nbsp;20, mainland&nbsp;China&nbsp;had confirmed 386,276 cases with symptoms.
Official figures have become an unreliable guide as less testing is being done across the country following the recent easing of the strict&nbsp;zero-COVID&nbsp;policy.
