BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s central city of Wuhan will test all residents as it screens them for coronavirus infections, city government official Li Tao told a news briefing on Tuesday.

The measures came after the city, where the virus first surfaced late in 2019, reported three domestically transmitted confirmed cases for Aug 2.
