April 03, 2020 Wuhan residents, the epicenter of Covid-19, have been advised of the need to strengthen "self-protection measures", staying at home and avoiding going out if not out of necessity in order to avoid the recovery of the infections.

In a statement posted on the city website, the secretary of the local Communist Party Wang Zhonglin said that "the risk of rebounding the pandemic remains high due to internal and external factors". These are reasons that push "to maintain prevention and control measures". The city will ease the stop to outbound travel on 8 April.

Although the new infections in Wuhan have been eliminated, Wang noted that residential compounds should remain vigilant on compliance with coronavirus measures.

The alert falls as China, which seems to have brought the pandemic under control in two months thanks to the draconian measures taken with the production block and the movements, is preparing to honor the first "14 martyrs" who fell on the front lines in Hubei during the war against Covid-19.

The program predicts, Xinhua reported, that a three-minute silence will be observed tomorrow at 10 local (4 in Italy) across the country, while "sirens and horns of cars, trains and ships will rise in the air they will wait in mourning. "

Although the war was declared won, Beijing's leadership is very cautious on a second wave, between return and asymptomatic infections.
