0:44Now PlayingSix subway lines and over a hundred bus routes have gradually resumed service in the Chinese city of Wuhan, the original epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. #Coronavirus #Covid19 #China #Wuhan
People looking to use public transport now need a "health code" which says the user is symptom-free and is required to board the subway and the bus.
Commuters check whether they are allowed to travel by scanning a QR code with their smartphone.
A green message will appear if they are allowed to board and a red message will appear if they are not.
A yellow message may also appear meaning the user had contact with someone who is infected but hasn't finished a two-week quarantine.
Once on the subway travelers then have to scan another code that records the carriage they have ridden on.
Wu Shenghong, who was on her way to see retailers after going back to work this week, said the system has helped to reassure her after a two-month shutdown of this city.
Wuhan was reopened for business on Monday after authorities lifted more of the controls that locked down tens of millions of people for months.
The city suffered 2,547 coronavirus deaths, accounting for about 80% of China's total fatality toll of 3,186 as of Sunday, according to the National Health Commission
For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks.
For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.
