China announced Tuesday that a lockdown would be lifted on more than 50 million people in central Hubei province where the coronavirus first emerged late last year.
But fears rose over a second wave of infections fuelled by people arriving from overseas.
After two months living with draconian curbs on daily life, residents will be allowed to leave Hubei from midnight Tuesday if healthy, while Wuhan city—the initial epicentre of the outbreak—will end restrictions from April 8.
Some light at the end the tunnel. The restrictions placed on us last night, may well prove to be enough, 3 months is quite along time to be trapped indoors. Hopefully the measures will not need to be extended.
Sadly on the news this morning it was reported that a new case had been diagnosed in the province that was not related to travel from abroad.
Plus "Shanghai and Beijing each reported a locally-transmitted infection Tuesday that came from an imported patient."
Not totally over, but I should imagine that people there will not be in a rush to return to their old ways of life. They will probably still be very twitchy around other people for quite a while to come. As it will be over here, once the storm is passing, viewing strangers with a modicum of suspicion and distance. At least until the young children of today grow up.
