WUHAN, April 8 (Xinhua) Wuhan resident Yuan Baohua carried a sense of responsibility with her when going for the COVID-19 inoculation, which she believed will help boost the city s collective immunity a year after a COVID-19 lockdown was lifted. Though I m old, I m in good health, and many of my peers have already taken the vaccine, Yuan said while getting the first of two doses after the city expanded COVID-19 inoculation to include elderly residents in late March.
Accompanying her at the vaccination site was her daughter-in-law Celia Esquivel Salguero, who has lived in Wuhan for over 10 years. I told my parents in Guatemala about my decision to take the vaccine, and they fully supported me, she said.
2021-04-09 09:53 By: Xinhua The megacity of Wuhan on Thursday marked the first anniversary since it ended the 76-day isolation and the 10th month without reporting any locally transmitted infections. Strict quarantines during the lockdown, a citywide nucleic acid testing drive and regular anti-virus measures have contributed to Wuhan s rise as a post-pandemic city of safety. An ongoing inoculation drive is expected to further beef up the city s defense against the virus. Residents, flight crew and even hot dry noodle shops have testified to the return of economic and social vitality and the end of the psychological lockdown.
