Wuhan is under quaranteen with the surrounding area containing 50 million Chinese although there's only 6000 people infected.
I don't know why they would ban travel since these people can't leave their city anyways.
It's not those stuck in Hubei's cities that's the problem, it's those people that are symptom-free that are outside. Those that are still moving freely across the country and those still travelling abroad. They're already spreading it without being sick enough to confine yet. We can expect the number of sick people to drastically jump within weeks as the infected come out of incubation.
