“Welcome the graduates of 2020 back home. We wish you all a great future,” a sign read during the event.
The first cases of the coronavirus pandemic started in the city of Wuhan in 2019.
The city was placed on lockdown in 2020 to control the spread of the virus but has already spread across the globe.
Over 2,200 attendees in the mass graduation ceremony were those who were not able to attend their graduation rites last year due to the pandemic.
China has relatively put the virus under control and has loosened some of its restrictions. (TDT)
