The station has been ready to resume the hustle and bustle by taking additional measures to protect passengers' safety, Jin said.

Wuhan only reported one newly confirmed case of the novel coronavirus disease since March 18. Liu Dongru, deputy head of the provincial health commission, told a news conference on Friday that the city has had its coronavirus risk evaluation downgraded from high risk to medium risk.

According to the risk criteria defined in a guideline issued by China's State Council, cities, counties and districts with no newly confirmed cases in the last 14 days are categorized as low-risk areas. Those with fewer than 50 cases or those with over 50 but without a concentrated outbreak are classified as medium-risk areas. And those with over 50 cases as well as a concentrated outbreak are classified as high-risk areas.
