Chinese cities relax testing rules as zero-Covid policy eases | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⚠️

Policemen stand guard on Wulumuqi road, named for Urumqi in Mandarin, in Shanghai on November 29, 2022, two days after rare protests against China’s zero-Covid policy following a deadly fire in Urumqi, the capital of the Xinjiang region.

Financial hub Shanghai — which underwent a brutal two-month lockdown this year — was under the same rules, with residents able to enter outdoor venues such as parks and tourist attractions without a recent test. The city of more than four million in the far-western Xinjiang region endured one of China’s longest lockdowns, with some areas shut from August until November.

Authoritative business news outlet Yicai on Sunday quoted an unnamed health expert arguing that officials should dial down strict virus rules.China’s central National Health Commission categorises infectious diseases based on how fatal and infectious they are. The World Health Organization has cheered China’s loosening of its zero-Covid policy, which came after hundreds took to the streets across the country to call for greater political freedoms and an end to lockdowns.
