China allows COVID cases with no or mild symptoms to quarantine at home
Most cases of infection with the coronavirus are asymptomatic or mild with no special treatment required, the National Health Commission said in a statement.
For nearly three years, China has managed COVID-19 as a dangerous disease on a par with bubonic plague and cholera, but since last week, top officials have acknowledged the reduced ability of the virus to cause disease while some Chinese experts suggested it is no more deadly than seasonal influenza.
High-risk areas should be accurately defined by building, unit, floor and household, and must not be arbitrarily expanded to entire residential compounds and communities, the NHC said. The NHC listed a total of 10 new guidelines, which followed 20 measures released on Nov. 11 aimed at "optimising" COVID prevention and control protocols.
