The top official in Wuhan, the epicentre of the coronavirus epidemic in China, warned residents to stay vigilant and avoid going out, even as the latest data showed a decline in new cases in the mainland and zero new infections in the city.

China appears to have curbed the epidemic through draconian restrictions that paralysed the country for two months and effectively shut down the world’s second-biggest economy. Beijing has pushed the country’s industries to go back to work as the epidemic eases, hoping for a quick recovery from what many analysts expect to have been a deep contraction for China’s economy in the first quarter.Wuhan Communist Party chief Wang Zhonglin said the threat of a rebound in the central city’s coronavirus epidemic remained high and ordered residents to avoid leaving their homes unless it was necessary to do so.
The city is scheduled to allow people to travel outside the city on April 8, and volunteers in hazmat suits have been spraying public areas with disinfectant in preparation for an increase in activity. Top officials are also ordering local health authorities to step up detection, monitoring and supervision of the infected patients who do not show symptoms.
