People of Wuhan allowed to leave after lockdown
Quote:
The months-long lockdown in the city of Wuhan in China's Hubei province - where the coronavirus pandemic started - has been lifted.
Anyone who has a "green" code on a widely used smartphone health app is now allowed to leave, for the first time since 23 January.
Train, road and rail connections have now been re-established.
It comes after China reported no deaths on Tuesday, the first time since it began publishing figures.
Last month, when Wuhan reported its first full week with no new infections, shopping malls were re-opened. Some people in "epidemic-free" residential compounds have also been allowed to leave their homes for two hours.
From Wednesday, approved residents will be able to use public transport if they are also to provide a QR code for scanning. The code is unique for each person and links to their confirmed health status.
People engaged in making medical supplies and other daily goods will be allowed to return to work. Other industries that impact national or global supply chains will also be able to re-open.
