China said Tuesday the epicentre of the new coronavirus outbreak Hubei would relax travel restrictions to allow healthy people to move within the hard-hit province.

According to the provincial government, a mobile app will be used to give residents a coloured health code, and people with a "green" code in medium and low-risk areas will be allowed to travel within the province, which was placed under lockdown in January.
