Almost a year has passed since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan, the first epicenter of the Covid-19 disease before it spread to all parts of the world.

Wuhan witnessed the largest closure in human history, which lasted for months.

The world did not expect that the novel coronavirus, which was discovered in the Chinese city of Wuhan before the end of last year, would turn into a pandemic and hit all countries of the world.

The Chinese authorities rushed to take unprecedented preventive measures, as for the first time in human history, a city of more than 11 million people was transformed into a quasi-prison, as it prevented entry and exit from it and forced citizens not to leave homes.

China has also recruited health workers, rushed to build hospitals and produce medical supplies to control the pandemic.Coronavirus: Life in Wuhan Back to Normal

It has managed to control the pandemic and has recently reached zero deaths and no more than ten infections per day.

After the outbreak of the pandemic all over the world, most countries were forced to close their borders and take restrictive measures that the world had not seen before, as the health sector across the world found itself facing difficulties and conditions that it had not dealt with before.

Despite the increase in the number of Covid-19 victims to millions, as the pandemic has so far claimed the lives of more than one million and 750 thousand people, while the number of infections has reached 80 million worldwide, but the world is waiting for the next year with optimism and hope for the vaccines that were produced against the virus that began use them in mass vaccination campaigns.
