Chinese Workers Head Back To Work

WUHAN, China (AP) – Millions of Chinese workers are streaming back to factories, shops and offices but many still face anti-coronavirus controls that add to their financial losses and aggravation. In Wuhan, the city where the pandemic started in December, police require a health check and documents from employers for returning workers. Chinese leaders have eased travel controls to revive the world’s second-largest economy but they have ordered local authorities to prevent a new spike in infections as businesses reopen. Beijing told companies to keep paying employees during a two-month shutdown, but millions of migrants, day laborers and others without regular jobs need to get back to work to start getting paid again.
