China says its focus of COVID-19 management has shifted from "infection prevention" to "health protection" and "severe symptoms prevention." The announcement was made after the country says it will downgrade management of the virus from Class A to Class B, a major shift in COVID policy measures. A health official said the adjustment is not about leaving the virus unmanaged, but strengthening services for all people. Medical resources, drug supplies and vaccinations will be paid key attention, especially for vulnerable groups of people, including the young and elderly and those living in rural areas.
