China has 82,883 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 3,339 deaths as of April 9. The majority of cases and deaths (67,803 and 3,215) have been in Hubei province, the original epicentre of the outbreak. Criticized for its initial inaction, the government moved to impose strict measures, including city-and province-wide lockdowns for hard-hit regions, community quarantines, school and business closures, and as the global pandemic worsens, a travel ban on foreign nationals. In recent weeks, as the number of new cases has levelled off, some measures have been lifted.
