China eases curbs in major shift from Covid Zero Policy
China shifted decisively away from its long-held Covid Zero policy - effectively relaxing a broad variety of stringent restrictions.
By Bloomberg News
China moved definitively away from its long-held Covid Zero approach on Wednesday, easing a range of restrictions that it has persisted with way after the rest of the world moved on to living with the virus.
By jettisoning key tenets of the virus elimination strategy, including forcing infected people into centralized quarantine camps, China is suddenly shifting gear faster than expected. The accelerated pace reflects pressure on President Xi Jinping to chart a path out of the crisis and quell public discontent.
