After 76 days, Wuhan breathes a sigh of relief

On Wednesday, Wuhan in Hubei province, the Chinese city hit hardest by the novel coronavirus outbreak, re-opened after a 76-day lock-down. People who had been confined were able to leave the city by road, rail and air. As the battle against the virus seems close to being won, the city that sacrificed so much for the nation is finally taking its first steps back to normali-ty, as these images show.
