The number of new recovered coronavirus cases has surpassed the number of new confirmed cases for four consecutive days in regions outside Wuhan in Hubei Province, said Mi Feng, a spokesman from the National Health Commission on Wednesday. 

Since February 13, the number of new confirmed cases has decreased significantly and the rate of growth of total confirmed cases has started to flatten out, according to Mi. 

These figures show that the implementation of prevention and control measures and the strengthening of national medical support have helped alleviate the epidemic in Hubei Province, and the recovery rate has continued to increase.
