In Wuhan, China, a city once at the centre of the Covid-19 pandemic, there have been no recorded cases of community transmissions since May. Before-and-after shots show life slowly returning to normal for many
China first alerted the World Health Organization to 27 cases of “viral pneumonia” in Wuhan on 31 December 2019. Now, almost a year on, life appears to be returning to normal with few indications of the city’s early role in the pandemic, which has infected more than 67 million people globally. Wuhan has not recorded a new locally transmitted case in several months and is now indistinguishable from many other Chinese cities. While business has yet to return fully to normal, shoppers have returned to Wuhan’s streets.
