What is published is confirmed, because the time of diagnosis test and gene sequencing is relatively long At the conference, Zhou Xianwang, mayor of Wuhan, said that the permanent population of Wuhan is nearly 11 million, the registered population is 9.9 million and the floating population is nearly 5 million About 5 million people left the city because of the Spring Festival or the epidemic Nearly nine million people still live in the city On the novel coronavirus, Wang Xiaodong, governor of Hubei, said that after the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia, we were very saddened by the Party Central Committee and the whole nation We felt very guilty and very self reproach.
