New virus infections in Wuhan had fallen to almost zero and travel restrictions were easing. As a 76-day lockdown neared its end, journalists and others were allowed to enter the Chinese city where the pandemic started. Getting out was more challenging.

For AP journalist Sam McNeil, getting into Wuhan was easy compared to the trials of securing a train ticket, getting nucleic tests, green codes, neighborhood approvals and submitting to electronic monitoring to find his way home to Beijing.

Along the embankments and bridges, citizens waved flags, chanted “Wuhan, let’s go!” and sang acapella renditions of China’s national anthem. A green code is now required for most public life in China — a reminder of the state’s constant data surveillance.
