More Chinese cities including Urumqi in the far west announced an easing of coronavirus curbs on Sunday as China tries to make its zero-COVID policy more targeted and less onerous after unprecedented protests against restrictions last weekend.
From Monday, people in Shanghai will no longer have to show a negative COVID test to take public transport and visit parks, authorities announced on Sunday.
Authorities in various districts in the capital have in recent days announced that people who test positive for the virus can quarantine at home. "Are they stupid or just plain mean?" one social media user asked. "We shouldn't shut down COVID testing stations until we get rid of the COVID test pass.", authorities said on Sunday, which may be due in part to fewer people being tested. Authorities also reported two new COVID deaths.Xi's zero-COVID policy has made China had a devastating impact on the world's second-largest economy and roiled global supply chains.
"Although there have been quite a few local changes to COVID policies lately, we do not interpret them as China abandoning zero-COVID policy just yet," Goldman Sachs said in a note on Sunday.
