The streets of China’s capital having gone eerily quiet, following the COVID-19 outbreak, Beijing is now slowly returning to its usual vibrant self.  

Cases are falling, and people are cautiously returning to work, following new advice laid out by the World Health Organization (WHO).   

The UN offices in Beijing will reopen on Monday, and in an interview with UN News, Resident Coordinator in China, Nicholas Rosellini, said good communication was vital to avoid panic, and unwarranted stigmatization around the world.  

Mr. Rosellini spoke to our China section colleague, Siwen Quian, who’s currently based in Shanghai.
