BEIJING, June 5 (Xinhua) -- Beijing will relax curbs on indoor dining, courier services and in-person classes as the epidemic situation has improved in the city, local authorities said Sunday.

The new rules will take effect starting on Monday in all districts of the Chinese capital except Fengtai District and some areas of Changping District.

Starting from Monday, dine-in services at restaurants will be available and couriers are allowed to enter residential communities.

Public places such as libraries, museums, cinemas and gyms are allowed to resume operations, with the total visitor flow not exceeding 75 percent of the maximum capacity.

Those who enter public places, take public transportation, or attend gatherings must hold a negative nucleic acid test report within 72 hours.

Besides the twelfth graders, students of all other grades in primary, middle and high schools can return to campus to attend in-person classes from June 13 while kindergarteners can resume offline classes from June 20.
