BEIJING — A county in northern China is offering 1,000 yuan ($145) to tipsters who report the presence of anyone from Wuhan, epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, who has not already registered with authorities, the local government TV station said on Monday. “If you don’t report yourselves, don’t blame others for reporting you. The new coronavirus has infected more than 2,800 people in China, with 81 dead, and has spread to several countries. Neighborhood officials in Chinese cities have also been asking residents to report whether they’ve been to Hubei or had visitors from the province. Wuhan is on virtual lock-down, and transportation in much of Hubei has been curtailed.
