More than 90 per cent of China’s deaths from coronavirus have occurred in the province of Hubei, and the majority of those in its capital Wuhan.
Yet the 3,333 national deaths slowed dramatically in recent weeks, and the lifting of Wuhan’s restrictions coincided with China claiming it had recorded no daily deaths for the first time since January. Fears easing restrictions could lead to second wave
Wuhan, where the virus is believed to have originated in a wet market in late 2019, was subject to intense draconian measures including a ban on road travel while one person per household was allowed out of their homes every three days to buy essentials.
And while the travel ban is the latest easing of restrictions, those wanting to leave must provide documentation from health authorities that they are healthy and must pass temperature checks.
