While the world now praises the Chinese government's response (they shouldn't) to the Wuhan Corona Virus outbreak, please remember why it spread at first. Also, I doubt if the situation is actually controlled in China. Have we ever known how China counted the patients? In more than one case, the new infections in a city exceeds that of its province.

I couldn’t find any evidence in the link about new cases in a city exceeding that for a province. Do you have any source for that? Or any other evidence that numbers may be misleading in China? Given their past record it does seem likely, but I suspect their social distancing measures have been at least partly successful.

The related news I could find were all in Chinese I'm afraid. You'll need to translate it.
