BEIJING – Beijing partially reopened movie theaters Friday as the threat from the coronavirus continues to recede in China’s capital.
Cinemas in parts of the city deemed at low risk of cross-infection began admitting moviegoers under social distancing rules.
Tickets must be booked in advance, attendance is capped at 30% of capacity and no eating or drinking is allowed during the show.
As with most venues in China, a temperature check and online travel record were required for entry. Cinemas have been closed for around six months but began reopening this week in major cities throughout the country.
