The normal operation of road traffic has been resumed starting on Wednesday in central China's Hubei Province, the hardest-hit region by the novel coronavirus disease(COVID-19).

The intra-province bus service started to operate on Wednesday in 16 cities and prefectures in the province except the provincial capital of Wuhan.

In Jingmen City, the bus service started early in that morning.

"We opened five inter-provincial lines to Shenzhen and Guangzhou in south China, Shanghai and Ningbo in the east and Changsha in central China. We also have 10 inter-city lines within the province now in operation," said Xie Baowen, deputy manager of the Jinmen North Coach Terminal.

Passengers are required to wear masks, show their green health code and have temperature checked before getting on the coach.

To help migrant workers back to work, the Shashi Coach Terminal in Jingzhou City opened "point-to-point" chartered coach services for them. The destination and frequency of the special lines are determined by the reservation made by the workers.

Meanwhile, the authorities started to clear the 51 checkpoints and road barriers on highways on Wednesday and all will be cleared by Friday and people with green health codes can go in and out of the province.

"In the past we needed to show a lot of documents including the health certificate, work resumption letter and others. Now we only need to show the health code, which is very convenient for us," said Zhang, a resident in Dangyang City.

Hubei has imposed traffic restrictions since Jan 23 and suspended buses, subways, flights, railways and highway services in a bid to keep people at home and curb the spread of the virus.
