Wuhan five years later: No trace of the pandemic at coronavirus ground zero

from english.elpais.com 1 month ago

Five years after the initial COVID-19 outbreak at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, the city has moved on, with daily life returning to normal. The market, closed since early 2020 for disinfection, symbolizes the past, yet life flourishes around it. Residents like Carrie express optimism as the city prepares for the upcoming Spring Festival, heralded by one of China's most-watched television programs. The pandemic's shadow fades, and Wuhan aims to redefine its narrative away from the crisis.

"Wuhan has picked up the pace. Its citizens have resumed their lives. Covid has gradually disappeared from the conversation."
