Li’s speech is part of the effort to rebuild public confidence in the government after the government itself first attempted to deliberately diminish the reality of the situation in the first crucial weeks of the virus’s spread.

In China, the virus killed 3281 people, affecting more than 81,000.

Since last Thursday, China has no longer reported any infections.

Wuhan will officially go out of quarantine on April 8.
