Thousands of booths where people once took Covid-19 tests fell out of use when the Chinese government ended its Zero-Covid policy in December 2022. Since then, some of these booths have been put up for sale online in the hope that someone will give them a second life.
The Chinese government installed Covid testing booths on streets all across China as part of Zero-Covid, a public health policy that used mass testing as a strategy to suppress the virus. However, all of these booths became defunct on December 7, 2022, when Chinese authorities dropped the policy after three years.
