No new Covid-19 cases in Hubei

Hubei: Hubei province and its capital, Wuhan, the hardest-hit city by the Covid-19 epidemic in China, reported no new infections for the first time, as travel and movement restrictions in Wuhan and its surrounding areas were further eased, and nearly half of the region’s industrial sector resumed production.

The clearing of new domestic infections in Wuhan, Hubei province, marks another major milestone in China’s containment efforts after the rest of the country registered zero or very few new cases for several weeks and major cities have shifted their focus to battle an increase in imported infections.
