Chinese city in Hubei resumes public transportation after months on coronavirus lockdown

Slowly but surely, life in China is returning to some sort of normality.

Here, a local citizen - a mother of one - films a simple bus journey on Tuesday that a few months ago would have seemed unremarkable. Taxis and buses started to run in the city of Yichang in hardest-hit Hubei Province from March 13 and March 17 since the coronavirus peak passed and cases of the disease slowed.

But on closer inspection the video shows a sign of the coronavirus outbreak, which resulted in draconian preventive measures being put in place: citizens - all wearing masks - having their temperatures checked and scanning their health code, a QR code that indicates whether someone is at risk of having COVID-19, to board a bus.

Local citizens have to scan their health codes, have their temperatures checked and use a specific mobile payment platform to pay for the bus.

Mainland China reportedly only had one case of locally transmitted infection on Monday. It occurred in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province.
