BEIJING - China is reporting fewer Covid-19 cases as a wave that started to accelerate last month appears to be tailing off amid a pullback in the sweeping testing regime that saw a negative result needed to even enter a public park.

Shanghai, which saw a gruelling two-month lockdown earlier in the year, scrapped PCR testing requirements to enter most public venues except some like restaurants, bars and nursing homes, city authorities said late Monday. Measures will “continue to be optimised and adjusted” in line with national policy and the local situation, according to the statement.

Chinese Vice-Premier Sun Chunlan said last week that the country’s pandemic control has entered a new phase. Confronted with evolving challenges and tasks, the government will take small, consistent steps to optimize Covid-19 measures, she said.
