View this post on Instagram After more than two months indoors, millions of people in Wuhan enjoyed a renewed sense of freedom when the Chinese city's 76-day coronavirus lockdown was lifted Wednesday. The end of Wuhan's lockdown came one day after Japan declared a state of emergency for Tokyo, Osaka and five other prefectures in an effort to stem the virus’s spread. India and much of Europe and the U.S. have also ordered stay-at-home orders, although not nearly to the same extreme as Wuhan. Restrictions in the city where most of China’s more than 82,000 virus cases and over 3,300 deaths from COVID-19 were reported have been gradually eased as cases declined. The government reported no new cases in the city on Wednesday. While there are questions about the veracity of China’s count, the unprecedented lockdown of Wuhan and Hubei province, where the city is located, have been successful enough that other countries adopted similar measures.A post shared by Fox Business (@foxbusiness) on Apr 8, 2020 at 7:31pm PDT
