While the coronavirus pandemic is roaming the rest of the world, emptying restaurants and filling hospital beds, Wuhan is reopening.
The city, located in the Hubei province of China, is considered groundbreaking for the COVID-19 pandemic. But now, about two months since reporting a new COVID-19 case, life has largely returned to normal.
In a dramatic example of post-COVID life, thousands of maskless people gathered in a Wuhan water park to attend a concert on August 15. The performance was complete with pyrotechnic elements, dancers in neon tutus, and an artist on a water-powered hoverboard.
But the concert was not Wuhan’s first since his 76-day lockdown ended on April 8. Check out Wuhan’s return to public life below.
