The Chinese city of Wuhan, where the virus first emerged, is drawing up plans to test its entire population of 11 million people for Covid-19.

The plan appears to be in its early stages, but all districts of the city have been told to submit details of how testing could be done within 10 days.

It comes after six new cases were recorded over the weekend. Prior to this, the city had seen no new cases at all since 3 April.

Wuhan, which was in strict lockdown for 11 weeks, began re-opening on 8 April.

But the emergence of a cluster of cases – all from the same residential compound – has now threatened the move back to normalcy.
