Tibetans Cautious as Virus Restrictions Ease in Some Areas
A lift of restrictions blocking the spread of COVID-19 in Tibetan areas of China is bringing more people out into the streets, but is raising concerns that the worst of the pandemic may not yet be over, Tibetan sources say. In Tibet’s regional capital Lhasa, the city’s Buddhist Association announced on March 30 that 214 monasteries, temples, and other places of worship in areas outside the city will now reopen, though visitors will be required to wear face masks and have their temperature checked at the gate, according to a report by Tibet’s official Tibet Daily newspaper.
