BEIJING — Millions of people in Beijing returned to work Thursday (May 5), many remotely, with scores of subway stations shut after a national holiday muted by the coronavirus curbs.

Chinese authorities have pressed on with their zero-Covid policy involving lockdowns and mass testing as they battle the biggest outbreak since the early days of the pandemic, with entire neighbourhoods in the capital sealed over handfuls of infections.

Another Beijing district Tongzhou has also encouraged residents to work at home, while dozens of subway stations across the city remained closed. Shanghai — the epicentre of the latest outbreak — reported more than 4,600 mostly asymptomatic infections on Thursday.
