As the world is on a rush fighting the further spread of Coronavirus pandemic, for the first time, Wuhan City reportedly registered no new infections of the novel Coronavirus after the city’s months-long battle with the deadly virus.
The novel coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan in December before it quickly spread to other parts of China.
“No increase was observed in the province’s number of suspected cases, which fell to zero on Wednesday, in another indication that large-scale transmissions have been suppressed at the epidemic ground zero,” says the Chinese government.
Previously, Wuhan City has been reporting thousands of new infections but yesterday on Wednesday the numbers remained the same. The province also saw 795 patients discharged from hospital after recovery on Wednesday, reducing its caseload of hospitalized patients to 6,636, including 1,809 in severe condition and 465 in critical condition.
The Chinese government says they now face a greater threat of infections imported from overseas.
“We still have insufficient knowledge of the novel coronavirus. What we already know is it is a very cunning virus with a long incubation period,” said Wang Daowen, a cardiologist at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan.
