1. Are there any legal requirements that employers must comply with before they send their people back to work and reopen physical premises?

The requirements to reopen physical premises vary among different locations and may change over time. Some of the cities that have stricter requirements need approval from the disease control authorities while other locations may only require notification or filing with building management. Employers may need to ask employees to fill-in certain forms to self-declare health status and contact/travel history. In Beijing and Shanghai, for example, the self-declaration is done through an app in individuals' mobile phones, which needs to be scanned when entering buildings/office premises.
