China abolishes all permanent PCR tests … Implement zero corona exit strategy

[뉴스리뷰]

[앵커]

China has started the transition to ‘With Corona’ in 3 years.

Here is a picture of the ‘Zero Corona’ exit strategy being implemented when discontent reached a dangerous level due to empty protests.

The core of the 10 quarantine optimization measures announced by the Chinese quarantine authorities is the abolition of routine PCR testing.

In the meantime, in order to filter hidden infections through trawling, it was decided not to do the test, which was mandatory for all residents of the city or the specific residential area once every 2-3 days.

When moving to another region, PCR testing is not required.

“Everyone will pay attention to their own health. If necessary, they will have a PCR test.”

If confirmed, the treatment method that was isolated at the facility will also change.

Asymptomatic or mildly ill patients will be able to self-isolate and be isolated in a treatment facility only if they wish.

The previous policy, which was an urgent matter to add when an infected person came out, did not arbitrarily expand the scope of blockade as ‘the whole apartment’, and also decided to unblock immediately if there are no new infections for 5 consecutive days .

In addition, it was said that schools without confirmed cases should hold normal classes and that facilities inside schools should be open as usual.

This change is evaluated as an exit strategy introduced as a desperate measure when dissatisfaction with the high density containment policy erupted through ’empty demonstration’.

On the other hand, Chinese authorities plan to accelerate the rate of vaccination, especially in high-risk groups such as the elderly, in order to curb the rapid increase in the number of infections due to the relaxation of controls.

Considering the low vaccination rate among the elderly, it will take time to change to ‘with corona’ on a full scale, but this time it is an evaluation that has definitely turned its direction.
