Diners were able to return to restaurants in Beijing for the first time in more than a month on Monday as China reported a drop in new COVID-19 cases in the city

Museums, cinemas and gyms were allowed to operate at up to 75 per cent of capacity and delivery drivers could once again bring packages to a customer’s door, rather than leave them to be picked up at the entrances to apartment compounds. The ruling Communist Party remains wedded to a “zero-COVID” strategy that exacts an economic cost and inconveniences millions of people, even as many other countries adopt a more relaxed approach as vaccination rates rise and treatments become more widely available.
