Chinese Cities Continue Shift From ‘Zero-Covid’

Major cities across China including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, have further eased local Covid-19 restrictions on travel and quarantine after the country announced sweeping changes to its virus control regime.

Starting Thursday, people entering Shanghai or Nanjing no longer need to take a Covid test on arrival or be tested daily during the following three days, according to statements issued by local authorities. The strict measures discouraging travel had been widely implemented in China since September.
