Over the past year, more than 2 million people around the world have died of Corona 19. The world is still suffering from Corona 19. But in Wuhan, ordinary life began.
Foreign media such as the Associated Press and the BBC recently reported a comparison of Wuhan City’s past and present on the 1st anniversary of the Wuhan blockade.
The Associated Press reported on the 22nd (local time), “The Corona 19 pandemic caused more than 2 million deaths worldwide.” “Corona 19 vaccine has been developed, but limited supply in some regions is frustrating the formation of collective immunity.” Told.
He added, “Wuhan, which was the first in the world to contain a blockade after the outbreak of Corona 19, is currently entering a recovery phase.”
BBC news also reported on the day, “Currently, Wuhan residents are enjoying a normal life while walking through the shopping streets, forgetting the pain of the past.”
On January 23, last year, a blockade was imposed in Wuhan City, prohibiting visits to riverside restaurants, karaoke rooms, and restaurants, and 9 million citizens were forced to stay only at home. There was nothing different from the house pension.
The blockade of Wuhan was lifted at 0 o’clock on April 8 last year after 76 days. Since mid-May last year, no confirmed cases have appeared in Wuhan.
In Wuhan, on January 1, millions of people gathered to celebrate the New Year’s Day, or citizens dancing in clubs without masks were also spotted.

China’s state-run media Global Times argued that “Wuhan’s fish market may not be the epicenter of Corona 19” because of the detection of the Corona 19 virus on food packaging imported last November.
Shi Jeong-ri, director of the emerging infectious disease center at the Wuhan Virus Research Institute, also published a thesis on the 8th and said, “There is a possibility that the Dutch mink is the host of Corona 19.” “You have to study a sample of it.”
However, some are questioning China’s countermeasures against the’Red Spot’. This is because the corona re-proliferation has begun recently, mainly in large cities in China.
According to China’s National Hygiene and Health Commission (sanitation commission), there were 56 confirmed cases in Heilongjiang Province and 15 cases in Hebei Province.
In addition, the number of confirmed cases was 13 in Jilin City, 3 in Beijing, and 3 in Shanghai.
Accordingly, the city of Beijing decided to conduct nucleic acid testing on all personnel who entered Beijing after December 10 last year.
For this reason, major foreign media have emphasized that China should never let go of tension ahead of the Chinese New Year, the biggest holiday. This is because the’second Wuhan Incident’ should not happen.
According to the China Sanitation Commission announced the day before, the cumulative corona19 confirmed in China amounted to 88804, and a total of 4635 deaths.
