But the announcement comes as suspicions linger that the ruling Communist Party government – already accused of bungling the initial response to the outbreak – continues to intentionally under-report the real number of deaths and infections.Beijing imposed an unprecedented lockdown on tens of millions of people in Wuhan and the rest of Hubei province in late January in a bid to smother the virus, and the number of new domestic infections has dwindled for weeks.
One last step comes at midnight on Tuesday, when the government will begin allowing people in the provincial capital to leave the city. “Many people feel that, come April 8, they can relax a little, but actually even greater vigilance will be needed,” the Hubei Daily quoted a top city official as saying.
“Even though the lockdown will be lifted tomorrow, we should try to stay indoors as much as possible.”
