WUHAN (China Daily/ANN): Carmakers and auto suppliers in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, are resuming operations gradually after a hiatus of nearly 50 days, as the novel coronavirus outbreak appears to be receding in the city hit hardest by the epidemic.

Dongfeng Honda, a joint venture of Dongfeng Motor Corp, commenced production in Wuhan on Wednesday (March 11), two days after it got the written approval from local authorities. Dongfeng's Chinese-branded passenger vehicle subsidiary is scheduled to resume production on Thursday.
