The government of Hubei, the province at the center of the coronavirus outbreak in China, has lowered the epidemic risk ratings of several cities and regions, leaving only the capital of city Wuhan as "high risk" at Thursday midnight, according to the local newspaper Hubei Daily.

After the latest adjustment, there're now 63 cities and counties marked as "low risk" and 12 others as "medium," the newspaper said.

The situation has stabilized in Hubei Province as new daily cases have trended downward stably since the end of February.

Since March 2, only Wuhan City has reported new cases each day, with only five identified on Thursday.
