Several Chinese localities have or plan to lower their emergency responses towards the coronavirus outbreak.
The eastern province of Jiangxi said that starting Tuesday, the emergency level will be lowered in 40 counties, cities and districts with low risks of infection.
In south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, authorities lowered the local emergency response from first-level to third-level at 8 p.m. Monday.
The emergency responses also turned to the third level from the first level starting on Monday in the southwestern provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou.
Since late January, all provincial-level regions on the Chinese mainland have activated top-level emergency responses to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), canceling mass events, closing scenic attractions and suspending long-distance buses.
