The meeting, reported by the official Hubei Daily, said that they may allow people to start traveling by using a "health code", a mobile-based monitoring system that has been rolled out by many local authorities in China in recent weeks.

Hubei province and its capital Wuhan are at the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak in China.
