It's finally time for Shanghai residents to breathe easier and feel a greater sense of freedom. After nearly two months of lockdown, the commercial hub of 25 million started to allow more people to go out to buy groceries for the first time last Thursday after a fifth straight day of no new Covid-19 infections outside quarantine areas.
As businesses are able to operate with workers living on site, authorities aim to allow more normal operations to resume from June 1, and some of the city's 18 metro lines resumed service yesterday.
All of the above signals that Shanghai is striving to achieve a full resumption of work and production as soon as possible depending on the Covid situation.
