BEIJING (Bloomberg): The Chinese megacity of Chengdu has allowed most residents to leave their homes from noon Thursday, largely dismantling a two-week lockdown as Covid-19 cases decline.

After easing restrictions in some parts of the city over the past week, the lockdown will now be lifted for residents in the seven remaining districts, the municipal government said late Wednesday (Sept 14).
