China’s coronavirus epicenter of Wuhan emerges from lockdown
Travelers are seen at the Wuhan Tianhe International Airport after restrictions to leave Wuhan, China’s epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak, were lifted, April 8, 2020.
The central Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus pandemic, began allowing people to leave on Wednesday for the first time after being locked down for 76 days. And, the pandemic has brought all sorts of things to a standstill, including elections.

Also, a robot nurse named Tommy has been helping keep human doctors safe in an Italian hospital.
