SHANGHAI, May 28 (Reuters): The Chinese metropolis of Shanghai inched further towards a gradual reopening from two months of grinding Covid-19 lockdown, while the capital Beijing maintained curbs that have drastically curtailed movement even as case numbers decline.

Shanghai aims essentially to end its lockdown from Wednesday. More people have been allowed out of their homes and more businesses permitted to reopen in the past week, although most residents remain largely confined to their housing compounds and most shops are limited to making deliveries.
