We’ve just left a major Chinese city after spending a day filming a story about a Covid outbreak. Less than 3 hours later our locally hired driver was taken into the police station and told he couldn’t leave until revealing what he was doing with foreign media.

2/To summarize: _Risk areas further shrunk, to apartment floors and individual buildings, not districts or neighborhoods _No more health codes, no more nucleic acid test checking (except for special organizations, like nurseries, elderly care homes, schools)...
