"This is the day I've been waiting for," a photographer who has been confined to his home in Wuhan for eight weeks told CNN. Authorities are planning to lift a mass quarantine on the central Chinese city, where the global coronavirus outbreak began, on April 8, more than two months after it was sealed off from the outside world -- a hopeful sign that the virus can be defeated. Life will begin to return to normal for the rest of Hubei province, of which Wuhan is the capital, starting tomorrow.
