Wuhan's coronavirus lockdown lifts after more than two months. “My family told me never to come back to Wuhan,” says one woman as she leaves for her hometown.
WUHAN, China—Hundreds of people, some wearing full protective gear, thronged Wuhan’s Hankou railway station early on Wednesday morning to catch the first trains leaving the city after authorities lifted its 76-day lockdown of the coronavirus pandemic’s original center.
The last time the train station was so busy was on the morning of Jan. 23, when authorities abruptly declared they were sealing off Wuhan with just a few hours’ warning. That predawn announcement set off a scramble to escape the city of 11 million people.
