Shanghai announces store reopening and return to work | Abroad

A maximum capacity of 75 percent still applies in public areas. Also, a negative PCR test that is up to 72 hours old must be presented upon entry.

Shanghai announced on Monday that the lockdown against the corona virus will be lifted from Wednesday. It was already known that from then on people will be allowed to leave their homes without a valid reason and that public transport will be started. So there are now a few more relaxations.

The city has been in a strict lockdown since April 1 to fight the corona virus. People were not allowed to leave their homes, leading to food shortages for many Shanghai residents. After a few weeks, the rules were relaxed. Since then, the strictest rules only applied to neighborhoods where infections had recently been detected.
