In China, authorities are easing quarantine policies one after another after protests against the corona containment policy spread.

However, as the quarantine policy suddenly changes, confusion is brewing everywhere, such as masks and diagnostic kits being sold out.



Correspondent Kim Ji-sung from Beijing delivered the news.

PCR inspection stations on the streets of Beijing are being demolished one after another.



This is because the authorities have lifted the mandatory Corona 19 test.



However, some companies, schools, airports, etc. are still demanding PCR negative results, and crowds are flocking to the remaining inspection sites.

Some Koreans missed their departure flight because the test results came out late.



There was also friction, such as a resident breaking the blocker at the apartment entrance with a car.



Other places are lifting the blockade, but why not here?



Previously, President Xi Jinping mentioned the possibility of mitigating quarantine, saying that the fatality rate of the Omicron mutation has weakened at a meeting with the European Union President after protests against the blockade spread.



However, some are concerned about the poor medical environment in China.



A Chinese quarantine expert predicted that up to 2 million people could die if China fully eased quarantine.



As Chinese people's anxiety grows due to the sudden change in quarantine policies, pharmacies are experiencing shortages of masks and rapid antigen test kits.
