Students return to class in Wuhan, but parents and teachers wary of COVID-19 risk

Outside the Wuluo Road elementary school, life has returned to a semblance of normality, with one reluctant new pupil screaming at her father to take her home.

"During the epidemic, the kids were at home for more than half a year and in all aspects couldn't study as well as they could at school," said Wei Fanling, who was eating breakfast with her 12-year old son. Nearby residential compounds had around 40 confirmed coronavirus cases, parents said. Wuhan's death toll of 3,869 accounts for more than 80 per cent of China's total, but it hasn't seen a single local transmission since the middle of May.

The government has advised parents to avoid public transport as much as possible. Buses were half-empty, with students being driven to class by private car or on electric scooters.
