As China celebrated Lunar New Year this week, Wuhan was unrecognizable compared to the apocalyptic scenes that gripped the city of 11 million in early 2020. | via philstarlife

this week, Wuhan was unrecognizable compared to the apocalyptic scenes that gripped the city of 11 million in early 2020.

For 76 days, Wuhan was cut off from the world, with residents holed up in their homes for fear of being infected as hospitals overflowed with patients. Outside a shop where AFP captured the scene of a man who lay dying in the street in January 2020—in an image that would become a symbol of the world's fight against COVID-19—a sign for a new school on the second floor reads"House of Hope".

The area around the once-bustling wet market was desolate when AFP visited Monday, though a police car kept watch.China, relatively unscathed for years after its initial outbreaks thanks to draconian zero-Covid measures, has faced its biggest-ever case surge in recent weeks.
