Traders, bankers and fund managers in Shanghai are gradually returning to their offices after being confined to their homes for more than two months as the financial hub officially ended a city-wide lockdown.
Shanghai Tower, the world’s second tallest building, reopened Wednesday following a mid-March closing to allow tenants, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., to resume working in offices, according to a notice posted on its social media account. The Shanghai International Finance Centre in Lujiazui financial area, which hosts firms including HSBC Holdings Plc, also opened to workers who can show a negative Covid test result within the past 72 hours, according to a notice seen by Bloomberg.
