A Chinese man walks near the Forbidden City in Beijing, China

A Chinese man wearing a protective face mask walks around the outskirts of the Forbidden City after the government lowered the Covid-19 threat to level two in Beijing on Thursday, May 7, 2020. Despite the easing of self-quarantine measures in the capital, most major tourist areas are closed to the general public and foreigners. Special passes are required, which are difficult to obtain.
