China Unplugs Travel Tracking System as Covid Curbs Ease

China unwound a mobile itinerary tracking system that has been in place for 34 months for virus control as the country continues dismantling restrictions and shifting away from the long-held “zero-Covid” policy.

The operator of the “mobile itinerary card” said early Monday that the system would be deactivated the next day under an order from the State Council. Caixin learned that all user data in the system will be deleted for privacy protection.
