China's Wuhan allows people to leave for the first time since it was locked down 76 days ago, despite fears of a second wave of infection

People wearing protective gear are seen at the Wuhan Tianhe International Airport after travel restrictions to leave Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province and China's epicentre of the novel coronavirus disease outbreak, were lifted, April 8, 2020.

The first train to carry departing passengers out of the city left at 1650 GMT, and outbound highways were opened to vehicular traffic around the same time. Based on ticket sales, 55,000 people will leave Wuhan by train on Wednesday, state broadcaster CCTV reported, citing the railway authority. But such restrictions have eased in recent days as new infections dropped to a trickle. Mainland China reported no coronavirus deaths for the first time on Tuesday, and Wuhan has counted only two new infections in the past fortnight.

Many people remain fearful of catching the disease, with China reporting 137 new asymptomatic cases on April 7.

China posts drop in coronavirus cases, Wuhan lockdown due to endMainland China reported on Tuesday a drop in new coronavirus cases after closing its borders to virtually all foreigners to curb imported infections, while the central city of Wuhan, epicentre of the outbreak, saw no new deaths for the first time. I don't know how come anything related to China is labeled 'fake'. Is that why people don't learn the lessons from China too? 4 months in lock down to achieve. Over a quarter of a year. And that was with very aggressive and sometimes inhumane measures in place.

China Eases Wuhan Lockdown, but Coronavirus Fight Remains IncompleteEpidemiologists, U.S. intelligence sources and residents suspect Chinese authorities substantially undercounted infections and deaths over the past several months. In recent days, Wuhan has reimposed many residential restrictions after confirming dozens of new asymptomatic cases. And death rates have been unreported. I guess we’ll see👀👀👀.
