“As vaccination rates rise in many parts of the world and even countries that previously had strict COVID-containment strategies gingerly ease restrictions, China is doubling down on its zero-tolerance policy.
China pioneered that approach — of strict lockdowns, multiple rounds of mass testing and centralized quarantine — during the world’s first major outbreak of the coronavirus in Wuhan. And it continues now, even as it says it has fully vaccinated 77% of its 1.4 billion people and started giving booster shots.”
China continues to implement strict quarantines as the country and the World continue to grapple with the pandemic and the ways it continues to affect every aspect of life across the Globe. The public is losing patience with quarantines and social distancing protocols which are far more difficult to enforce a full 18 months into the pandemic. Fortunately, vaccines are now widely available and when the populations become fully vaccinated the reduction in the Covid-19 spread is dramatic. Disseminating enough vaccines to developing nations is of paramount importance to finally eradicate the virus.
