Shanghai will gradually restore the offline operations of its malls, markets, eateries, hair salons and other businesses from Monday to guarantee basic daily supplies to its citizens, the city's vice mayor said on Sunday.

The principle is to open in an orderly manner with limited movement and effective control and classified management. Strict COVID-19 prevention and control measures will be implemented, vice mayor Chen Tong said.

The number of visitors will be limited, with separate entry and exit channels at the re-opened shopping complexes, department stores, supermarkets, convenient stores and pharmacies.
