    It said it had reprimanded the people responsible for the earlier announcement that healthy people would be allowed to leave if they had vital business. The earlier announcement came amid signs that the spread of the virus in China was slowing, with more than 20 province-level jurisdictions reporting zero new infections on Sunday and several regions lowering their emergency response levels.
