China holiday train travel down nearly 70per cent amid restrictions

A man and a child put on their face mask after taking a photo near a Year of the Ox statue on display at the capital city's popular shopping mall during the first day of the Lunar New Year in Beijing, Friday, Feb 12. BEIJING: Railway journeys in China during the usually frenetic Lunar New Year holiday travel rush are down by almost 70 per cent amid calls for people to stay where they are to avoid a new outbreak of COVID-19.

Air and bus travel are also down considerably, but one figure is up: China’s box office receipts smashed the previous one-day record on Friday, the first day of the new Chinese Year of the Ox, bringing in more than 1.736 billion yuan , ticket agency Maoyan said. While most of the economy has reopened, strict mask wearing, electronic monitoring and periodic lockdowns have helped virtually eliminate domestic coronavirus cases.
