After initial spike in cases, parcels back moving at standard pace in Beijing
Parcel delivery in Beijing largely returned to normal on Monday as drivers struck by Omicron-fueled COVID-19 outbreaks recovered and returned to their posts.
Thousands of them had also been borrowed from regions less affected by the virus to help clear a backlog of deliveries in the city of 21 million, logistics companies said.
The parcel pileup came in the wake of the annual "Double 12"e-commerce shopping festival.
