Chinese people are turning to natural remedies to prevent being infected with COVID-19. While fever clinics overcrowd and medical resources run in short supply, sales of canned yellow peaches and lemons have soared.
The“10 New Guidelines” released by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on Dec. 7 marked a shift in China’s epidemic prevention policy. Not only did the New Guidelines not mention “Zero-COVID,” but they also made it clear there would be “no temporary lockdowns and restrictions in any form,” “no full-scale nucleic acid testing by administrative district,” and “no more testing upon arrival.” Soon after, the statement “we can only rely on ourselves for epidemic prevention in the future,” began circulating among netizens online.
