The central Chinese city of Wuhan became the world’s first Covid-19 epicentre after the first cases in the pandemic were reported there in November 2019. It was also the first city in the world to be locked down in an effort to stamp out the virus. After three years of restrictions, China abruptly abandoned its zero-Covid policy in December 2022. Wuhan along with many other Chinese cities initially saw a spike in cases. But weeks later, the city’s residents appear to be ready to move past the pandemic.
