In addition, according to the First Financial Report, Zhou Xianwang also said that due to the impact of the Spring Festival and the epidemic, more than 5 million people have left Wuhan and 9 million remain in the city.

It is reported that the departure corridors of the airport and railway station will be closed at 10 am on the 23rd, and public transportation and long-distance passenger transport will be suspended. Officials also require citizens not to leave Wuhan without special reasons. However, as soon as the news came out, a large number of citizens ran away overnight before the ban on "closing the city." Some people even "flee" to play in other cities even if they have fever symptoms, and upload Weibo to show off after leaving, causing controversy.
