[Explanation] From June 29th, the streets and towns within Shanghai's jurisdiction that have no medium-risk areas and have not had a social epidemic in the past week will open their restaurants in an orderly manner.
On the same day, a reporter from China News Agency came to a business district in the center of Shanghai and saw an endless stream of diners at the scene, and there were long queues in order at the entrance of many restaurants.
[Explanation] Many catering industry merchants said that the passenger flow on the first day of resumption of dine-in basically reached the expected level, and they are optimistic about the future business situation.
[Concurrent period] Dong Zhiliang, a merchant in the catering industry
It went well, because we have been preparing for the resumption of work and production for a long time. We have been cleaning up and disinfecting the sanitary preparation site, and we have been doing nucleic acid reporting of employees 24 hours a day for a long time.
I'm quite happy, after all, I haven't eaten in for two months.
(We) are still very optimistic, it will get better and better in the future, and the flow of people will also increase.
[Concurrent] Zhang Shuai, a catering merchant
Our business has recovered to a state of 70%-90% compared to before the closure, which should be within expectations as I thought.
Our preparations are still going well. Before going to work, our staff must do an antigen (test) and a nucleic acid (test) every day. This is what we must do before going to work every day. In the future (business situation) I think it is possible Yes, expected.
[Concurrent] Yang Wanxia, a merchant in the catering industry
(Resumption of work) is still very smooth. With the assistance of the property, our preparation of various materials, including the submission of materials, are all assisted by them.
Today is beyond expectations. I didn't expect such a situation on the first day of resumption of work. When dine-in (current limit) is 50%, there will be queues.
(For the future) I am very optimistic, because today has exceeded our expectations. Based on today's passenger flow, I believe that the follow-up will be better and better.
[Explanation] Some diners said that the "return" of dine-in is not only a simple solution to the "eating problem", but also symbolizes the return of Shanghai's "worldly fireworks".
[Concurrent] Diner Mr. Chen
I work in the upstairs office, and (previously) just bring your own or order takeaway for lunch.
(Did you come down to eat specially for the resumption of dine-in today?) Yes, I came down as soon as I heard the news. Actually, I was quite excited. After so long, I could finally dine in, and some of the "fireworks" in the world came back. .
