The first batch of medical workers dispatched to combat the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei province, are returning home starting on Tuesday, Xinhua News Agency reports.

On Tuesday, 41 medical teams, consisting of 3,675 members, will be returning home to other Chinese provinces. They were treating patients at seven designated hospitals and 14 makeshift hospitals throughout the city.

The National Health Commission said early this month that 346 medical teams had been mobilized across China to aid prevention and treatment efforts in Wuhan. The teams included 42,600 personnel, including 19,000 medical workers dedicated to treating severe and critical patients.
