Theaters and other public facilities in Shanghai were forced to close down for months because of the epidemic last January. Starting in March 2020, the city cautiously reopened theaters and other cultural institutions as the situation improved. In August, cinemas and theaters were allowed to operate at half of usual capacity. In mid-September, the cap was raised to 75 percent.
