As Wuhan, ground zero of China’s epidemic lifts all travel restrictions beginning April 8, locals report that many are still infected with the CCP virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus.
More asymptomatic carriers are detected; meanwhile, Wuhan hospitals are discharging COVID-19 patients before they fully recover. Some China analysts worry that a larger outbreak may be unavoidable after quarantine measures are eased, particularly as Wuhan authorities encourage people to go back to work.
