Passengers are seen at Xinbaiguangchang Station in Shijiazhuang, north China's Hebei Province, Feb. 19, 2021. Shijiazhuang resumed all-around subway operation with COVID-19 prevention measures on Friday. 

Traffic controls on the expressway are also being relaxed, and vehicles can drive in and out of the city under certain conditions, according to staff at an expressway intersection. People driving to Shijiazhuang from low-risk areas need to hold a green health code, while those from medium-risk areas must have a negative nucleic acid test certificate valid within 7 days.

People leaving Shijiazhuang by car also need to have negative nucleic acid test certificates. During the recent outbreak, some routes in and out of the city were closed. 

From February 5, five days before the Spring Festival holiday, many commercial complexes and shopping malls in the city resumed operation.

So far, entertainment services including cinemas in the city are still suspended, and dine-in service in restaurants is still not available, the Global Times learned from local residents. 

As the city returns to normality, many residents are appealing for delivery services to the city to resume so that online consumption can start again. 

Shijiazhuang reported 869 confirmed COVID-19 cases from January 2 to Wednesday, and there are still 141 patients receiving treatment in hospitals, Shijiazhuang’s local government reported on Thursday. 

Gaocheng district in the city, the epicenter of the latest resurgence, has downgraded its emergency response level in two regions from high to medium, the local government announced on Friday.
