"Today I declare the lifting of the response level to emergency," chief executive Carrie Lam told reporters.
Lam declared the impact of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak to be of the highest emergency response level, raising it from the previous status of “serious” to "emergency."
The new virus has caused alarm because of its similarity to SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), which killed nearly 650 people across mainland China and Hong Kong in 2002-2003.
