The Chinese metropolis of Chongqing announced that public sector employees testing positive for Covid-19 can go to work “as normal,”

The sprawling Chinese metropolis of Chongqing announced Sunday that public sector employees testing positive for Covid-19 can go to work “as normal,” a remarkable turnaround for a city that only weeks ago had been in the throes of a mass lockdown. The move comes as China continues to quickly unravel its once-stringent zero-Covid policy, with local governments across the nation relaxing costly rules around testing, quarantine and other pandemic policies amid a widespread economic downturn.

” Chongqing, a hub for industry and agriculture, became a Covid hotspot last month. More than a million residents were told not to leave the city unless absolutely necessary, and several rounds of daily mass testing were rolled out. When China’s Vice Premier Sun Chunlan visited Chongqing on November 22, she urged local authorities to take “swift and decisive measures” to contain the outbreak by identifying positive cases and their close contacts, according to state-run outlet Global Times.
