BEIJING - China tightened restrictions at the locked-down epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak on Tuesday , forbidding feverish people in Wuhan from visiting hospitals outside of their home districts.

Wuhan has been under effective quarantine since Jan 23, when the government suspended transport links out of the city in a bid to contain the virus, which has so far killed 1,016 people and infected more than 42,600 across China. People diagnosed with pneumonia who require observation must remain at the clinics, or at alternative premises provided by the facilities, the commission said.

The notice said the city - the capital of Hubei province - had"entered a key stage" in its fight against the virus.The phrase has been used by local authorities elsewhere in China to describe sealing off all but a few exit points in a compound and checking the identification of all who enter and leave.
