The province\u2019s capital city, accounted for 60% of mainland China\u2019s total confirmed cases and about 77% of the deaths.<\/p>\n<p>China has sent more than 30,000 medical staff to Hubei, among which roughly two-thirds were sent to Wuhan. Chinese health officials say that 10% of China\u2019s critical care medical staff are currently deployed in Wuhan to fight against the virus.<\/p>\n<p>Wuhan has also designated 46 hospitals to care for confirmed coronavirus cases, and is racing to re-purpose other locations into medical facilities.<\/p>\n<p>No doubt these and other measures have helped.<\/p>\n<h3>American resident of Wuhan says life getting back to normal: &#8216;The situation is greatly improving&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><strong>By Julia Musto <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Life at the epicenter of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been &#8220;greatly improving,&#8221; San Francisco native and Wuhan, China resident Doug Perez said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing on &#8220;Fox &#038; Friends First&#8221; with host Jillian Mele, Perez said that at the beginning of the outbreak he faced a &#8220;lot of hardship,&#8221; but in the past few weeks &#8220;the situation has transformed dramatically.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yesterday, for example, we only had one new case of coronavirus \u2014 one confirmed case in Wuhan,&#8221; said Perez. &#8220;So, the situation is greatly improving recently. And, we&#8217;re optimistic that we&#8217;re almost through it over here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Perez noted that a quarantine is still in effect in Wuhan \u2014 as are a lot of restrictions for its residents.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That being said, we&#8217;re still dependent on deliveries and the delivery services have been very reliable. Recently we can access even fast-food services via delivery. Everything comes within an hour,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, actually, the situation has been improving a lot and life&#8217;s starting to return to normal a bit recently. So, we&#8217;re actually really happy about that,&#8221; he told Mele. &#8220;But, prior to that, it was much worse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My advice would be, of course, to stock up and be safe. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/health\">Wash your hands<\/a>,&#8221; he cautioned. &#8220;But, I think if you keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/mental-health\">positive mindset<\/a> and you focus on making it through it. Not leaving the house \u2014 complying with the quarantine. I&#8217;m really confident that the U.S. will make it through it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course we will. Good advice here- practice social distancing, wash or sanitize your hands often, and stay calm.
