china-eased-anti-covid-restrictions-after-historic-protests

Some cities in China have decided to relax the anti-covid measures this Friday after the historic demonstrations took place in recent days to put an end to the “zero covid” policy imposed by the Xi Jinping regime.

Over the weekend, large numbers of outraged demonstrators staged protests against restrictions by the Chinese authorities that had reached a scale unprecedented in decades, Deutsche Welle reported.

After the demonstrations, several cities began to ease sanitary restrictions, such as stopping mass daily tests.

The Chengdu metropolis in Southwest China will no longer require a recent negative test result for enter public places or take the subway. On the other hand, only a green health pass will be necessary, which confirms that no area considered high risk was crossed.

Meanwhile, in Beijing, the capital of the Asian giant, the health authorities asked the hospitals that will stop rejecting patients who do not have a negative PCR test of less than 19 hours.

Several deaths have occurred due to delays in medical treatment due to anti-covid measures, such as the case of a four-month-old baby who recently died from having to be quarantined with his father.

In January, a pregnant woman from the city of Xi’an lost her baby at the gates of a hospital that would not let her in because she did not have a test.

The names of the people who died due to negligence caused by sanitary restrictions during the weekend protests went viral on social networks.

In other cities for the new s outbreaks of Covid-19 the reopening of restaurants, shopping centers and schools began to be authorized, leaving aside the strict measures that were in force until now.
