Wuhan starts checking all people out of city to prevent virus spread-out
The central China city of Wuhan where a deadly pneumonia first broke out has been starting to test the temperature of all people going out of the city to prevent the new virus to spread out fast.
The authorities will also inspect all vehicles coming into the city to prevent wild animals to enter the city, local authorities said on Wednesday. The pneumonia caused by coronavirus first broke out at a water life market in Wuhan in December.
Nine people have died from the disease, while nearly 500 cases of infection have been confirmed nationwide. Nearly 400 cases were reported in Hubei province, where Wuhan is the capital.
The emergency disease control measures will continue to operate 24 hours a day until the outbreak is over to ensure that nothing is missed in the outbreak investigation. The city has also called on the general public to cooperate.
