Beijing authorities lowered the city’s Covid-19 emergency response level after almost two weeks of no new domestic coronavirus infections.

The response level will be changed to 3 from 2 from July 20, on a scale where 1 is the most serious, Chen Bei, vice secretary general of the municipal government, said at a briefing on Sunday. The city will reopen public places including parks, museums and libraries at 50% of their accommodation capacity, Chen said.
