Revisiting Wuhan a year after the coronavirus hit the city
A year ago, I passed through Wuhan just before the city went into lockdown for 76 days.
More than 3,000 people died of the coronavirus here, but there hasn’t been a single new case in Wuhan since last spring. I wanted to return to see how the city has recovered.
First stop, a sprawling exhibition hall. It used to be a temporary hospital for COVID-19 patients. Today, it’s a museum documenting the city’s fight against the virus. It’s strange to walk through a museum that explores a threat that is still very real for so many people — even here.
