Beijing (China), December 7: China rolled out national coronavirus bans on Wednesday, including home quarantine for covid close contacts and the elimination of the covid test rule in most public places, according to state media.This comes less than two weeks after massive scale demonstrations shook the world against the zero-covid policy.According to New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW), China has reformed and enhanced its COVID response by implementing ten new measures, including allowing infections with mild or no symptoms to take home quarantine and reducing the frequency of nucleic acid testing.On November 27, university students from around the region assembled on their campuses to demonstrate, and hundreds of students in Wuhan, China's northwest Xinjiang region, took to the streets that night to mourn the deaths and protest Covid restrictions, which have kept the city under lockout for more than three months, said Yaqiu Wang, a senior China researcher at Human Rights Watch.
