Chongqing- The megacity’s efforts have made an achievement, as the infections in Chongqing have been effectively curbed. The local government proposed to carry out epidemic prevention and control in a more scientific, accurate, and efficient way under the guidance of the Chongqing pannel of the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism Comprehensive Group.
Since the businesses are closely related to the pandemic prevention and control measures, iChongqing interviewed Scott, a Serbian bar owner in Yuzhong District, and heard his responses during the lockdown. Scott has been in China for four years. Unfortunately, his business was significantly affected due to Covid. From his perspective, he took the wait-and-see strategy and always had a plan B, even a plan C, out there. “There’s plenty of time to take on new things that I have never done before,” he said.

Major adjustments are already underway, with the National Health Commission issuing 20 easing measures in November and 10 further measures on the 7th of December. Chongqing also adjusts and optimizes the anti-epidemic measures and consolidates the achievements of the battle against the epidemic following the 9th edition of the Prevention and Control Scheme, the hustle and bustle of the city have returned in the city.
