Shanghai's Park Visitors Doubled to 800,000 Over the Weekend Shanghai's Park Visitors Doubled to 800,000 Over the Weekend

(Yicai Global) March 23 -- Some 800,000 people visited Shanghai parks over the weekend just passed, double the prior weekend's total as the city begins to relax measures to contain Covid-19 and the weather begins to perk up, the Shanghai Observer reported, citing figures from the Shanghai Landscaping and City Appearance Administrative Bureau.

Staff at major parks in the eastern metropolis are still requiring visitors to wear masks, according to the report.

The epidemic is not over yet, one park worker said, adding that people should still be cautious as areas like ticket gates and other popular park attractions have a high density of people during peak hours.
