China eases curbs as coronavirus infections retreat, imported cases tick up
13 Sept 23:57 Key points summarised by AI
- China is significantly easing coronavirus restrictions, with many regions lowering emergency response levels and relaxing travel, following a visit by President Xi Jinping to Wuhan, signaling authorities are turning the tide against the domestic outbreak.
- Domestic coronavirus infections are retreating across mainland China, with Hubei province reporting a sixth consecutive day of declining new cases, prompting some cities to begin easing curbs on movement and goods.
- Authorities are shifting their focus to managing a growing concern: an uptick in imported coronavirus cases, as 10 of the 24 new infections reported on Tuesday involved individuals traveling from abroad, particularly from Italy and the United States.
- While many provinces have cut their emergency response levels and resumed inter-city transport, some areas within Hubei, like Qianjiang, are maintaining strict bans, and routes to Beijing and Hubei remain restricted from certain regions, reflecting a mixed regional response.
