…the World Health Organization says the strict policy of the last three years had stopped working anyway. "The explosion of cases in China is not due to the lifting of COVID restrictions," said the WHO's head of emergency programs, Dr. Mike Ryan.

In an informal online poll, more than 58 percent of Beijingers self-reported that they had tested positive. foreignpolicy.com
