China has been re-evaluating and adjusting its policies to better allocate medical resources and protect its people in the past three years, according to experts from both Chinese government organs and overseas academia.
The country has so far released nine official versions of its the COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment protocols, and the 10th trial version was released just on Friday.
The first six editions were published in rapid succession between mid-January and early March in 2020. This was a time when China was learning quickly about the virus. And based on the new information, adjustments were made.
The fifth edition, published on February 21, 2020, listed the specifics of science-based classification of epidemic risk levels for the first time, aiming at making prevention and control measures more targeted and suitable for different regions with different conditions.
Over the next two years, active adjustments were made to deal with the evolving virus and the public's demand. It was fundamental to China's efforts of protecting people's lives while creating opportunities for growth.
The balance of public safety and socioeconomic development bought the time for building up more protections and for the virus to become less deadly.
After the Omicron variant became dominant, major changes were put into place. Most notably, on December 7, 2022, China announced a package of ten changes on the national level to ease COVID restrictions.
"We have been actively optimizing and refining our COVID-19 response according to the situation. Now China has entered a new phase of COVID prevention and control, and we will take the best control measures for the Chinese people to minimize impact on people's livelihoods," said Liang Wannian, head of the COVID-19 response expert panel of the National Health Commission, at a press conference on Dec. 7.
