The true scale of the Covid wave is unclear, but many are now looking to the new year with optimism.
By Stephen McDonell in BeijingWhen you arrive in China now the officials in head-to-toe protective clothing are gone. There are no buses with special plastic dividers waiting to take you to centralised quarantine. The main reminder that Covid is still around is that people are wearing masks.You still need a PCR test before flying and arriving passengers fill in a health declaration form, accessible via phone apps. This then generates a temporary QR code.
Getting rid of most zero-Covid travel restrictions before the Spring Festival has meant that many who have not been able to visit friends and relatives in China are rushing to buy plane and train tickets in time. Big city hospitals were soon being swamped. Social media is full of images of hospital corridors packed with elderly patients on oxygen support.
