Social distancing has now become a part of everyday life in China. While wearing masks is a must in public areas, various sectors of the society have been reducing density by adopting flexible measures.

To prevent crowding, factories and companies have been offering flexible working hours and work-from-home options for employees. From Shanghai Disneyland to the Palace Museum in Beijing, tourist attractions, restaurants, and museums reopened in recent months but has been capping the daily number of visitors.

Public transport has also adopted safety measures with vigilance. When Wuhan resumed its subway service in late March after more than two months of suspension, subway carriages carried signs asking passengers to sit in between empty seats. In cities with ride-hailing drivers, their vehicles are installed with plastic sheets between the front and the rear seats to prevent contact.
