HUBEI - Dozens of people clashed on the Hubei border after the Chinese government lifted a two-month quarantine on the epicentre of the country's coronavirus outbreak, highlighting the challenges of undoing the unprecedented measures taken to contain the disease.

Ma Yanzhou, the highest-ranking Communist Party official in the Hubei county involved, was seen shouting at the crowd with a megaphone in an attempt to calm people. Order resumed on the bridge at about 5 pm on Friday, according to Beijing News. On Saturday, state-run People's Daily posted a commentary on its app admonishing those involved in the clash, saying that placing restrictions on or singling out Hubei natives"hurt their feelings."

From Jan 23, China locked down Wuhan and its surrounding areas, effectively restricting the movements of 60 million people. The measures stopped air and rail travel and restricted those who could leave by car, while harsher measures banned large gatherings and sought to keep residents in their homes.
