New coronavirus infections may drop to zero by end-March in Wuhan: Chinese government expert
14 Sept 01:44 Key points summarised by AI
- A Chinese government expert predicts new coronavirus infections in Wuhan, the epidemic's epicenter, could reach zero by the end of March, with other Hubei cities following by mid-March.
- This optimistic forecast comes despite a recent uptick in new confirmed cases in Wuhan, which reversed a three-day decline in infections.
- China is shifting its focus from internal containment to preventing imported infections, as new global cases now surpass domestic ones, prompting quarantine measures for arrivals from high-risk countries.
- Some Hubei cities are cautiously easing internal travel restrictions, signaling a gradual return to normalcy, though inter-city and inter-province travel remains largely forbidden.
