How is Real Life in Shanghai since 2020?
Q: Recently many friends have asked us: How is life in Shanghai at this moment?Are the measures against COVID-19 super strict? Do people wear masks everywhere? Aren’t they allowed to leave home?
最近有很多朋友问我们，上海现在的生活如何?是不是管控超级严格？走到哪里都要戴口罩？能不能出门？
A: No, no, no! In fact, life in Shanghai has basically already been back to normal! As an old Chinese saying: seeing is believing. So today, let’s follow Expat Help Team to look around!
非也非也。其实上海早已基本回归疫情前的生活节奏啦！眼见为实，夷合团队今天就带大家出门逛逛吧！
Stop 1: Train and Metro Station （火车+地铁站）
Currently, public transport services in Shanghai strictly follow the two principles: 1. The temperature of passengers entering and exiting must be measured; 2. Wearing a facemask is mandatory in public transport. It is understandable. After all, transportation in Shanghai is famous for its high-frequency people streaming.
公共交通还是目前管控最严的地方，所有进站乘客必须接受体温检查，全程必须佩戴口罩。毕竟，上海的交通枢纽可是人流量最大最密集的场所之一呢。
Stop2: Shopping Mall (商场)
Exploring various shopping malls is one of Shanghainese’s favorite leisure activities.
When seeing a great flow of people at shopping malls, people at malls will put
on masks immediately, on their will, of course. Even though, how could the
small masks stop the passion of shopping?
探索购物商场是上海人最爱的休闲活动之一。人流量一大，大家都会自觉戴好口罩，但是小小口罩又怎能阻挡大家轧马路的热情呢?
Stop 3: Tutoring Institutes （培训补习机构）
7.30PM, walking down a busy street, we could not help being attracted by a tutoring
institute. Parents were all waiting to pick up their kids. No matter during the
pre-pandemic or post-pandemic, kids’ studies are always parents care about
most.
晚上7点30，闹市区的一家补习机构门口挤满了来接孩子回家的家长。不管是疫情前还是疫情中，孩子们的学习还是家长们最关心的事。
Oops, after walking around, we believe you might have changed your idea about life in Shanghai nowadays.
In the meantime of strictly following the restrictions and measures against Covid-19, life activities in Shanghai, such as transportation, entertainment, study, and work, have already been back on track as before. We insist on the two-handed strategy: happiness and health, we want both!
走完这一圈，想必大家都看见啦，在严格遵守防疫规范的同时，上海人民的出行、娱乐、学习和工作都已经恢复如常了。快乐和健康，我们两手抓!
