Three years after the advent of the coronavirus, the China abandon his strategy covid-zero. Even the Chinese health authorities have decided to change the name of the virus to definitively turn the page and give their country’s economy a new chance. With the aim of optimizing and better linking epidemic prevention and control with economic and social development, systematic testing for coronavirus is no longer relevant in China, people diagnosed with Covid-19 can self-isolate at home instead of being sent to quarantine centres. From now on, no more imprisonment than an entire city. Only people with coronavirus will be confined. There will no longer be an obligation to take the test when traveling on public transport and between cities.
While implementing the zero covid strategy in China, schools, sports centers, tourist sites and restaurants have been closed. The various measures required by the Chinese authorities to respond to the coronavirus pandemic have been a real ordeal for the Chinese. The economy of this country has been adversely affected, like all countries in the world. In the face of multiple hardships, protest rallies were held. “Most officials in China know that policy as it is conducted no longer makes sense, but no one can fail to implement it because it is (President) Xi’s (Jinping) policy and it must be maintained“, he said Steve Tsanginstitute director AS WELL AS China at the University of London.
