China eases lockdown in Hubei
Chinese authorities have ended the two-month long lockdown of most of Hubei province.
The city of Wuhan, which was ground zero for the coronavirus, will remain locked down until April 8.
Authorities are confident the worst is over with just a handful of new infections for more than a week.
Most new cases are imported from overseas, authorities claim.
Wuhan reported one new confirmed case on Monday after five consecutive days with no new infections.
"Currently, the imported risk from the epidemic’s rapid spread overseas continues to rise," the Beijing city government said.
All who entered the capital within the past 14 days will be required to take mandatory testing, and placed in quarantine.
Other cities including Shanghai will continue to impose quarantines on new visitors entering the cities.
Hubei province accounted for the majority of covid-19 cases in China with 67,801 and 3,160 deaths.
