In a state-mandated app, China has cancelled use of an asterisk that indicates an individual has travelled to a foreign country or a city with COVID infections. This comes 27 months after the app was first implemented and has raised some questions.
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) said on June 29 that as of that day, it has revoked the asterisk showing travel history through COVID-hit areas to help facilitate intercity travel and balance COVID curbs and economic development.
