BEIJING, Feb 24, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Non-residents of Wuhan may leave the
quarantined city at the epicentre of China’s virus epidemic if they show no
symptoms and have never had contact with patients, authorities said Monday.

Wuhan, a city of 11 million, has been under lockdown since January 23
after authorities shut down transport links into and out of the city in an
effort to contain the new coronavirus outbreak.
