The virus has left China behind, or that's what the data says. On April 6, coronavirus deaths were not recorded in the country and the new numbers of infections are negligible compared to the previous ones. Precisely, the decision to expand to Wuhan has occurred after only three new coronavirus infections appeared in the city.

However, leaving the house will require an application that the government has put in place during the lockdown period. The application will have the domicile of the user, the most recent travel and medical history data indicating whether the person is at risk of infection.

Open, but not entirely

With the opening of the city there have been retentions in the opposite direction towards the gas stations of the city. In addition, experts expect 55,000 people to leave the city by train. However, despite the expansion of the city, the austerity measures that have been carried out are maintained. Citizens are asking citizens to stay in their homes as much as they can and schools remain closed.

Little by little life has returned to the city, more shops have opened, people have approached parks, especially older people. Public transport is also underway, but with very few travellers. Some workers have also returned to their jobs.

The crisis, not just economic

Two thirds of the cases across China have occurred in Wuhan, where the plague has hit the city hard. “The people of Wuhan have experienced the epidemic in the first person. His friends have fallen ill, his friends and his family have died. Facing its extremes, one by one, we have been abandoned,” says Yan Hui, a woman from Wuhan, at the New York Times.

94% of the city's shops closed during the lockdown, and although the impression of an increase in the economy among the Chinese is widespread, experts fear that external demand will fall a lot during the epidemic.
