Wuhan began allowing people to leave on Wednesday for the first time
since the central Chinese city was sealed off 76 days ago to contain the
coronavirus that first emerged there late last year.
But as China's outbreak eases, the pandemic is deepening in other parts of the world.
In the United States, the number of confirmed cases
is now nearing 400,000, with the country recording its biggest daily
jump in deaths since the outbreak began.
The United Kingdom, where Prime Minister Boris Johnson is in intensive care with the disease, also reported its biggest daily rise in deaths.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has threatened
to put a "hold" on funds for the World Health Organization (WHO),
accusing the organization of bias towards China and performing badly in
the coronavirus pandemic.
The US is the WHO's biggest source of funds. Globally,the number of people diagnosed with the virus now exceeds
1.4 million. More than 82,000 people have died while more than 300,000
have recovered according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
