For the first time in 11 weeks, Wuhan’s more than 11 million residents were able to travel freely again, with tens of thousands choosing to leave by train, plane and automobile at the first opportunity.
Since then, those left in Wuhan have only been allowed out of their homes to buy food or to perform other truly unavoidable tasks.Only three new coronavirus cases have been reported in Wuhan in the last three weeks. People have officially been allowed to enter the city since March 28. However, Wuhan families and residents are still coming to terms with the trauma of the virus’s toll.

Official figures state there were more than 50,000 coronavirus cases in Wuhan and more than 2,500 deaths, accounting for about 80% of China’s total fatalities.
Healthy residents from other parts of Hubei province have been able to leave their regions for a few weeks already.
