Chinese movie theaters in low-risk areas have been allowed to resume operation starting from July 20 following an improvement in the COVID-19 epidemic situation, the China Film Administration announced Thursday. These movie theaters should reopen on the premise that proper prevention and control measures have been put in place, the administration said in a circular.
Cinemas should suspend their operation once their localities are adjusted to be medium- or high-risk areas, and theaters in medium- and high-risk areas are still being closed, the administration said.
一旦从低风险地区调整为中高风险地区,电影院要及时按要求暂停营业。中高风险地区电影院暂不开放营业。
