"We've mainly relied on government provisions and group-buys," said Zhong, who was stocking up on eggs, goji berries, black sesame and oats. The city was"striving to achieve a full resumption of work and production as soon as possible," he said. The passes were for one person from each household to go to the shop for 40 minutes and spend up to 500 yuan . Residents were advised to walk or ride a bicycle to the shop and told to queue at the entrance two metres apart.In another positive sign, four of the city's 18 metro lines will resume operations from Sunday.
Pudong Airport cargo throughput has reached 70 per cent of last year's levels, while the number of freight vehicles entering and leaving the city was back to two thirds, he said.
