China is still in the fight against Covid-19, Tuesday May 3. After the strict lockdown in Shanghai, Beijing residents are worried as restrictions in the city are expected to be tougher.
The Temple of Heaven, an emblematic place in Beijing (China), is surprisingly empty on Tuesday, May 3. Once again, the holidays are still ruined by the Covid-19. 400 cases have been officially recorded since April 22, and the authorities have brought out their emergency arsenal, with a lot of PCR tests for the 20 million inhabitants.
The city of Beijing, at a standstill, is not yet completely confined. Only some residents are locked up, like Fu Bo, who lives in a high-risk neighborhood. “I get up, prepare my breakfast, listen to some music, do some exercise and then start my work day”, he says. In Beijing, virus hunters and cleaners are on a war footing. China maintains its zero Covid policy. Tourism figures were down 62% from 2021, for the May Day long weekend.
