Recent COVID Developments in China

Time: 10:00AM - 10:30AM

Recently, China shortened its COVID-19 quarantine requirements for inbound travelers and the National Health Commission introduced 20 measures to further adjust the country's COVID-19 control policy. Although those actions were considered as a positive signal, recently many cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Hefei, Nanchang, Sanya, Zhengzhou, Harbin, Changsha announced stricter control measures for people that newly arrive from other cities. Simultaneously, the number of infected cases across China is drastically increasing. Guangzhou, Chongqing and Beijing have been hit hardest by this latest wave. The German Chamber of Commerce in China welcomes Dr. Bernhard Schwartlaender, Global Health Envoy of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to discuss those latest developments.
