BEIJING - China on Thursday marked a major milestone in its battle against the coronavirus pandemic as it recorded zero domestic infections for the first time since the outbreak emerged, but a spike in imported cases threatened its progress.
Wuhan and its 11 million people were placed under strict quarantine on Jan. 23, with more than 40 million other people in the rest of Hubei province entering lockdown in the following days.There were 8 more deaths in China -- all in Hubei -- raising the nationwide total to 3,245, according to the commission.
On Wednesday, Hubei authorities announced they were partially opening its borders to allow healthy people from low-risk areas to leave the province if they have jobs or residences elsewhere. This also excludes Wuhan. The National Health Commission said there were 34 more cases brought in from abroad, the biggest daily increase in 2 weeks, with 189 in total now.
There have also been questions about China's official figures, as authorities changed its methodology to count infections, and the government has endured rare public criticism of its handling of the health emergency.
Lock down with food supplies , we are doing lock down with no support that’s why people keeps on going out
Great News! Hope this becomes the normal occurrence not the exception. Then maybe China can share to the world what they've done wrong & did right to check the COVID19 from intensifying further.
