Beijing counters outbreak with resilience


BEIJING: The capital is going all out to curb the Covid-19 outbreak while residents are adjusting to new situations in the battle against the Omicron variant of the disease.

On Thursday, the first workday after the five-day May Day holiday, many residents in Beijing cycled to work because of the impact on public transportation. Chen Miao, 32, who lives in Chaoyang district, cycled about 9km to the nearest station that is still open and took the subway to her workplace. Packing up her laptop and work-related materials in the office, she will be working from home.
