People I know (outside Hubei) in the megacities are already back in office (cautiously). The management felt confident enough to also request the expats to fly back and join (most had left before CNY which is when this started blowing up). So I'd say not just working but close to back on track.
Same with Singapore, due to the close family and business connections to China, there was a flurry of early cases but rapid contact tracing and quarantine has slowed the spread.
- scarmig 7y agoI'm in Beijing, and I spent yesterday afternoon walking through the park. I easily walked pass hundreds of people: it's fairly active. Some people were even gasp removing their masks. Cafes and restaurants are opening again. The big risk for Beijing (and the rest of the country except Wuhan) right now is importation of foreign cases. It came at significant economic cost, but China's quarantine worked, and the processes established will likely continue to help protect China from another outbreak from re-importation.
