Wuhan Reports No New Coronavirus Cases for First Time

VOA News

   The Chinese city at the center of the coronavirus pandemic has for the
   first time reported no new daily cases, saying Thursday that there were
   no new cases Wednesday.

   Wuhan has spent about two months on lockdown as authorities tried to
   stop the spread of the virus, and in recent weeks the number of new
   infections there dwindled.

   Elsewhere in China, though, with health officials reporting 34 total
   cases Thursday among people who came from elsewhere, there is continued
   concern about such imported cases threatening the substantial progress
   the country has made.

   China has been the hardest hit by the novel coronavirus since it
   emerged in late December, with about 81,000 total cases and 3,200
   deaths. Most people who became sick have recovered.
