Beijing drops Covid testing burden as wider easing beckons

BEIJING, 07 December 2022, (TON): People in China’s capital Beijing were allowed to enter parks, supermarkets, offices and airports without showing proof of a negative Covid-19 test, the latest in a mix of easing steps nationwide after last month’s historic protests.

Beijing readies itself for life again read a headline in the government-owned China Daily newspaper, adding that people were gradually embracing their newfound freedoms.

Authorities have been loosening some of the world’s toughest Covid-19 curbs to varying degrees and softening their tone on the threat of the virus, in what many hope could herald a more pronounced shift towards normalcy three years into the pandemic.
