China is reporting fewer COVID 19 cases as a wave that started to accelerate last month seems to be tailing off amid a pullback in the sweeping testing regime that saw a negative result needed to enter a public park.
The nation reported 27,164 cases for Monday, down from 29,171 on Sunday. Since peaking at 38,808 on November 27th, infections have fallen each of the past eight days.
From Shanghai to tech hub Shenzhen are dialing back their testing requirements as officials try to meet a more targeted, less onerous COVID 19 playbook handed down by Beijing. While regular testing is still required in many places to enter restaurants and high-risk areas, such as elderly care homes, the moves reflect a retreat from a testing regime that saw PCR diagnostic booths on every corner in major cities, and children required to test negative to go to parks in Beijing.
