Businesses reopen as Guangzhou eases Covid-19 control

Closed-off management measures temporarily implemented in Guangzhou were lifted on Wednesday afternoon as part of a more scientific and precise method of COVID-19 control.

Dine-in service at restaurants in low-risk areas in Haizhu, Liwan, Conghua, Panyu, Tianhe, Yuexiu and Huangpu districts in Guangzhou was allowed to resume, starting on Wednesday or Thursday.

Indoor entertainment and service venues such as cinemas, gyms and libraries in low-risk areas in some districts have also reopened.

Xian Qiuxian, deputy general manager of Guangzhou Grandbuy Department Store (Beijing Road), said, "before the store opened, all our employees have passed health examination, including nucleic acid tests and health code checks. All were qualified. Employees would be able to work."
