China will soften restrictive measures previously imposed to combat the spread of the coronavirus in early January, the South China Morning Post reported.
China’s State Health Commission has decided to downgrade the threat of COVID 19 from the highest, “A,” to “B.” The “A” category was introduced back in 2020.
As part of this decision, from January 8, 2023, those arriving in China will not have to be sent to mandatory quarantine: this measure will remain in force only for those who have COVID 19.
At the same time, a negative test for coronavirus will be required to enter the territory of the PRC, notes Bloomberg.
In addition, according to the news agency EFE, China will also weaken control over its territory for people with coronavirus. In particular, the authorities will abandon the practice of tracking with whom a sick person had contact. They will also do away with the practice of determining how high the risk of infection is in a particular area.
