China's National Health Commission released 10 new COVID-19 control policies on Wednesday to further relieve the epidemic control measures. Here below are the summarized details.

Places are not allowed to require a COVID test and green health code to enter, except for institutions with nursing and medical services and schools from kindergarten to high school levels. No COVID test and green health code are needed for cross-city travels. No arrival COVID test is needed.
III. Cases with no symptoms and mild symptoms are suggested to be quarantined at home for 7 days with COVID tests on 6th and 7th days. Close contact persons are suggested to be quarantined at home for 5 days.

V. Pharmacy stores have to be open and are not allowed to restrict people to buy medicines online and offline.
VI. Increase the vaccination rate of people aged 60 and above with incentive measures.
