Virus-hit Chengdu gradually returns to normalcy

It is forbidden to hold large-scale in-person conferences, training, performances, exhibitions, square dances and other gatherings. Nursing homes and children's welfare homes will be put under closed-off management, the notice said.

Return to schools and kindergartens will be postponed, and offline off-campus tutoring activities will be suspended.

Chengdu started citywide static management on Sept 1, with residents required to stay home and unnecessary business suspended.
