Market implications
Meanwhile, the markets perhaps enjoying a last-minute ray of hope before we see signs of the virus returning in China as the Hubei Province, where the deadly coronavirus first emerged late last year, is to lift travel curbs after two months under lockdown and send the population goes back to work despite new 'imported' cases.
