Coronavirus: Can Life Go Back to Normal in Wuhan?

China is lifting its lockdown over the epicenter of Wuhan on April 8.

“Knowing the day we can finally go out, sometimes it’s not necessarily a good thing,” says a Wuhan resident who goes by Robin.

He is one of millions of people who have been locked down in the city for two months since the coronavirus outbreak in January.

The easing of restrictions comes as Hubei reported that new infections dropped to zero on March 19, a dramatic plunge from the height of an epidemic that’s infected more than 80,000 Chinese and killed over 3,200.

But some in China have been skeptical of the accuracy of the official tally, particularly given Wuhan’s overwhelmed medical system, authorities’ attempts to cover up the outbreak in its initial stages, and multiple revisions to the way official cases are counted. Residents on social media have demanded disciplinary action against top Wuhan officials.
