No coronavirus cases in Wuhan hospitals, China says

Wuhan, the Chinese city where the pandemic began, had no coronavirus patients in its hospitals as of Sunday, a government official said.

The city of 11 million was the first to go into lockdown, at the end of January. It has been showing signs of recovery since restrictions were relaxed on April 7. On Saturday, the city still had 12 known coronavirus cases, but no new infections.

The official death toll from the outbreak in Wuhan stands at 3,869, though critics say the actual figures are higher.

The global death toll stands at nearly 200,000, according to a database maintained by The Times. The United States accounts for a quarter of that grim number.

昨天的金融時報有兩篇重磅報導，一是以兩版篇幅報導武漢解除封城的現況。許多居民可以自由活動，但對政府處理疫情方式仍然不滿，指控當局案發時反應遲鈍，遮掩真相，讓家人親友陷入恐懼無助，還要民眾封口，不准談論疫情。雖然4月8日解除封城，但許多地方仍然戒備森嚴，不准進入。當局給前去採訪的外國記者一本刻意編寫的疫情發展大事紀，想主導記者報導方向。......
