China has ended its lockdown of Wuhan, the original epicenter of the coronavirus crisis, as the city reemerges from a deadly outbreak, after 76 long days. Some restrictions within the city will remain in place, even as the lockdown is being lifted. The city had been sealed off from the outside world since January 23 in an unprecedented effort to contain the outbreak. Nearly 55,000 passengers are expected to leave Wuhan.
