Have people started going back to work? Are people socializing now? Has there been a change in consumption? What has changed since the outbreak?
80% of people go back to work except for wuhan city. The school is not open. I come from Hefei, China
Residential compounds still don't let outsiders in (deliveries, friends etc - but not too strict). Many shops, banks, coffee shops still check the temperature. Some places also ask to show "health code" which is a mini-app (PWA-kind of thing in Wechat / Alipay ecosystem) that gathers your travel info and gives you a red-yellow-green rating. Schools, most museums, parks, theaters are still closed.
I still cannot enter Wework because I have a personal contract. Only companies allowed, and need to fill some forms.
Certainly, the biggest visible change is eating out. I'm in the F&B industry and we see reports of 60-75% drop in demand for eating out. Delivery is booming though.
The biggest news of today is closing the borders to all foreigners, and also impossible to get a hotel room if you are a foreigner, even with a valid visa.
