Cinemas, cultural venues to reopen...
The city will reopen cinemas on July 8, the Shanghai Film Bureau has announced. There will be no food and drink sold or allowed in cinemas for now, and cinema goers will need to provide a negative nucleic acid test from within 72 hours, have their temperatures taken and wear a mask.
You know – all the usual shenanigans.
Local tourist attractions, museums, galleries, theaters, public libraries and cultural venues will be gradually reopening from today, July 1, according to the city's culture and tourism administration.
Expect staggered times and controlled visitor numbers to be in place for all of the above (as well the aforementioned usual shenanigans, of course). Theaters, for example, will be operating with a 50% audience limitation.
