China abandons key parts of zero-Covid strategy after protests

After protests against the strict policies, China is abandoning its toughest control measures on Chinese citizens, including the famous quarantine camps. It seems that there is a new intention to move from a zero-covid strategy to one of coexistence with the virus, similarly to what happened in the rest of the world. The zero-covid policy was extremely unpopular, specially because it separated families and removed individuals from their homes. Chinese citizens have expressed relief, but some of them expressed their concerns too.
