⁣China has rolled back some of its strictest Covid policies, in the wake of protests and unrest.

Rules, including those which forced Covid positive people into quarantine camps have been scrapped, along with the need to show PCR tests to enter most venues.

People with Covid can now isolate at home rather than in state facilities if they have mild or no symptoms.

The loosening of measures comes after the country saw its biggest protests in decades, some of these escalating into direct criticism of President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party.
