BEIJING (Reuters): The central Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicentre of the country's Covid-19 outbreak, reported no new infections for the first time, while imported cases surged by a record, led by new infections in the capital of Beijing.

The city is expected to see new Covid-19 infections dry up by mid-to-late March and which could mean lead to the city's lockdown being lifted once there are no new cases for 14 days, the state-backed China Daily reported.
