Residents of the capital of Hubei province will be allowed to leave the city from Wednesday onwards if they are in good health and have the necessary permits.

The city, where the first cases of Covid-19 were identified, has been locked down since January 23.

Controls have already been lifted in many other parts of China and people have been permitted to travel in other parts of Hubei since the end of March.

But Wuhan remains alert to the risk of another outbreak, particularly from asymptomatic carriers.

The point I was trying to make was that if we are to believe China's reporting this is going to take much much longer to contain than the five months it took China because we are STILL not doing what we need to do to shut it down. Like holding elections today. This is not going to be over in a flash...
