Covid-19: The road back to Wuhan

BBC China correspondent Stephen McDonell has taken a road trip back to the Chinese city of Wuhan, as it nears the anniversary on 23 January of the world's first Covid-19 lockdown.

The virus was first detected in Wuhan in late 2019 before it spiralled into a global pandemic and turned the city into a ghost town with streets empty of residents and vehicles.

The lockdown was lifted in April and our correspondent returned to see how Wuhan and the surrounding province of Hubei are faring.

Update 25 January 2021: This video has been edited to remove an erroneous map.
