WUHAN: Hard-hit Hubei, the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak in China, will relax travel restrictions to allow healthy people to move within the province, government officials said on Tuesday (Mar 10).

Hubei has been under lockdown since January with some 56 million people under quarantine, but the number of cases has declined in recent weeks.
