Since Beijing suddenly abandoned its hardline virus control measures in December after almost three years, cities across China have been left with tens of thousands of the temporary structures.
Some of the metal or plastic testing booths that were once ubiquitous symbols of the “zero-Covid” policy have found a new life as mini-pharmacies, shelters or information stations. “Rather than leaving them empty, we’re trying to use them in other ways, suiting the time and place,” a city official from Suzhou, near Shanghai, told AFP.
Some booths near the train station have been transformed into information points for new arrivals, offering them job opportunities or legal advice concerning work disputes.Elsewhere in the city, booths have been repurposed by local janitorial staff to store odds and ends.
