Planes and Trains Resume Service in Hubei
Hubei province, the center of China’s COVID-19 outbreak, resumed flights and trains on Wednesday after two months of restricted travel.
According to local media, train tickets to and from Hubei — except its capital of Wuhan — can now be purchased, and three airports in the province have been reopened.
Meanwhile, Wuhan resumed some bus routes Wednesday and will reopen its subway lines from Saturday, when train service to the city will also resume. Passenger trains will not depart from Wuhan until April 8, however.

The government of Hubei had announced earlier this week that travel restrictions in all localities except Wuhan would be lifted Wednesday.
Shanghai Relaxes Entry Restrictions on Residential Compounds
Shanghai has relaxed entry restrictions on residential compounds after weeks of strictly enforced COVID-19 containment measures.
According to a government notice Tuesday, nonresidents — including delivery workers and friends and family of residents — are allowed to enter communities they don’t live in, provided they pass a temperature screening and show a green code on a government-backed health-tracking app to indicate a clean bill of health.

The notice also says that all compound residents returning from countries severely affected by COVID-19 may only be admitted after testing negative, and that once inside, they are forbidden from leaving during the compulsory quarantine period.
