The general public in China's key cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan return to regular activities as authorities say the Covid-19 outbreak is under control
Infections in the cities of Beijing, Guanzhou, Shanghai, and Chongqing are close to ending, officials say.
Among those who gathered to sled or ice skate on a frozen lake in the capital's Shichahai Lake Park were some upbeat about the opening-up, after China dropped stringent "zero-Covid" measures on December 7 to adopt a strategy of living with the virus. "After the end of this lockdown, we don’t have to scan the health code anymore, nor do we have to check the travel code," said one of those in the park, Yang, who gave only one name.
"Now I can go out and it’s good timing for the New Year's Day holiday," he added. "I want to go around in Beijing, have a look and feel the festive mood."
