During Xi's trip, Hubei announced it would ease travel restrictions to allow healthy people in low-risk areas to travel throughout the province.
WUHAN - Chinese President Xi Jinping said Tuesday that Wuhan has turned the tide against the deadly coronavirus outbreak, as he paid his first visit to the city at the heart of the global epidemic.
"The spread of the novel coronavirus disease has been basically curbed in Hubei province and its capital city Wuhan," Xi said, according to the official Xinhua news agency. He then went to a residential community in Wuhan to speak with people quarantined, and community workers. "His visit is to signal that the outbreak has been effectively curbed, and is an attempt to quieten external criticism of him not going to the frontlines," said Hao.
