On Saturday, approximately 205 cinemas will re-open for business in Shanghai and will follow last weekend’s opening of 500+ theaters in other China provinces.
The Shanghai municipal government made the announcement on Thursday and said that strict measures will be in place to prevent the spread of the disease
Shanghai becomes the first ‘tier one’ city to turn the cinema lights back on as the coronavirus reportedly abates in the Middle Kingdom.
Moviegoers will have to present their health QR codes, have their temperatures taken and wear masks during screenings. Seating will be spaced out and disinfection will take place between showings.
There are over 380 cinemas in Shanghai, with the plan being for the rest to come back on line ‘in an orderly manner when conditions are ripe’.
