- Legenda: Wuhan (China), 20/01/2025.- A person wearing a mask exits the Central Hospital of Wuhan, where the first COVID-19 whistleblower, Dr. Li Wenliang, worked in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, 20 January 2025 (issued 22 January 2025). As the five-year anniversary of Wuhan's 76-day lockdown approaches on 23 January 2025, the origins of COVID-19 remain unresolved, with the World Health Organization (WHO) continuing to urge China for more data while Beijing insists it has disclosed all available information. Life in the city of over 11 million has largely returned to normal, but memories of the pandemic linger for many residents who recall the uncertainty of the early days, food shortages, and the struggle to find hospital beds. The first cases emerged in December 2019, leading to a strict lockdown in Wuhan on 23 January 2020 as infections surged worldwide. The WHO estimates nearly 800 million infections and 7 million deaths, though figures vary. The debate over COVID-19'Äôs origins continues, with some scientists suspecting animal-to-human transmission, while others point to a possible lab-related incident.
