Exodus from Wuhan as Chinese mark end of lockdown and make up for lost Lunar New Year travel
Wuhan placed under lockdown on 23 Jan 2020 & officially lifted on 8 Apr 2020

The southern province of Guangdong had the most Wuhan visitors outside Hubei province on Thursday, a day after the lockdown of China’s Covid-19 epicentre was lifted, according to Chinese search giant Baidu.

Nearly one-tenth of the people who left Wuhan on Thursday travelled to Guangdong, with almost half of those travellers arriving in the two major cities of Shenzhen and Guangzhou, according to data collected by the company.

The majority – about two-thirds of the people who left Wuhan – went to neighbouring cities in Hubei province, including Xiaogan, Huanggang and Ezhou, a day after the travel ban lasting over two months was lifted.

Since Wednesday, 11million residents have been allowed to travel in and out of the city where the pandemic first began in December.

After being at home for over 70 days, residents in Wuhan, the initial epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic, are emerging cautiously from their residences this week.

There is a newfound sense of optimism in the city of 11 million, whose sacrifices and stoicism in putting up with the lockdown have been credited for saving millions of lives and helping the country get through some of its darkest days in battling a deadly infectious disease. But it was not that long ago when the unprecedented move to seal off an entire city took the world by surprise.

If anything now, Wuhan stands as a shining example, giving the rest of the globe hope when billions more have been put in some form of physical isolation.


Wuhan, the sprawling capital of Central China’s Hubei province, is a commercial center divided by the Yangtze and Han rivers. The city contains many lakes and parks, including expansive, picturesque East Lake. Nearby, the Hubei Provincial Museum displays relics from the Warring States period, including the Marquis Yi of Zeng’s coffin and bronze musical bells from his 5th-century B.C. tomb.
