- Story Text: Shanghai's roads streamed with cars and people as the city sprang to life again on Wednesday (June 1) after two months of COVID-19 lockdown.
Most of Shanghai's 25 million residents can now freely leave home, return to work, use public transport and drive their cars - a moment that for many in China's largest and most cosmopolitan city felt like it would never arrive.
Joggers, skaters and dog walkers braved the heat, pouring into riverfront parks along with other residents basking under the sunshine at the West Bund area.
During the two months, numerous residents of the country's most important financial and economic hub struggled to get enough food or medical care. Families were separated and hundreds of thousands were forced into centralised quarantine facilities.
Residents must still wear masks in public and avoid gatherings. Restaurant dining remains banned and shops can only operate at 75% capacity. Gyms will reopen later.
