Revisiting Wuhan

A more vigilant Wuhan, 76 days after Covid-19 lockdown

By the time G4815 pulled out of Beijing West Station on Tuesday afternoon (April 7), I had been asked three times about when I had entered Beijing (March 10), whether I completed my quarantine (yes), and to show my passport (here you go).

Having packed my luggage full of personal protective equipment – full body suits, heavy duty masks, goggles and gloves – and multiple bottles of hand sanitiser, I was ready to revisit Wuhan.
