New Corona cases in Wuhan

The coronavirus first emerged in Wuhan, major transportation and industrial city in central China, in December. Since then, it has infected nearly four million people worldwide, deaths more than 270,000 people worldwide, and has paralyzed the global economy. The total number of infected in China is 82,901, with an official death toll of 4,633.

No new deaths have been reported for nearly a month. The ruling Communist Party of China imposed a quarantine lockdown on tens of millions of people, first in Wuhan and then in the rest of Hubei province, starting on January 23, making Wuhan the first place in the world subject to draconian constraints. Authorities began lifting the restrictions in late March.
