What’s new: The southern Chinese metropolis of Guangzhou said Wednesday that it would allow close contacts of Covid cases who meet certain conditions to undergo quarantine in their own homes, in an effort to “optimize” local anti-epidemic measures.
Zhang Yi, deputy director of the city’s health commission, announced the change at a press conference today. Zhang did not elaborate on the conditions, but said that in principle, close contacts would still be subject to centralized quarantine.
