China Should Refine, Not Relax Covid Controls - Xinhua

China should rectify excessive Covid controls, while avoiding the relaxation of Covid prevention in the name of refining control measures, said Xinhua News Agency in a commentary. It is necessary to correct simple practices such as expanding the scope of control areas and people under observation, and prevent unscientific practices like testing two or three times a day, Xinhua said. Local governments should focus on fighting the epidemic in key areas, take more resolute and decisive measures to curb the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible, instead of taking a wait-and-see attitude, Xinhua said. The epidemic has not gone away, and prevention cannot be relaxed, Xinhua added.
