But China made an abrupt policy U-turn this month, dropping nearly all of its domestic Covid curbs in a move that has left hospitals across the country scrambling to cope with a nationwide wave of infections. Arrangements for foreigners to come to China, such as for work and business will be improved and the necessary visas will also be facilitated, the authority said.
While China downgrades its management of the coronavirus, the National Health Commission said epidemic prevention and control protocols at key institutions such as elderly care institutions will be strengthened.
