There have been some huge changes in China relating to the country’s ‘zero-COVID’ policy over the last few weeks. We have absolutely loved seeing images of staff at metro stations tearing down QR codes, full restaurants and empty COVID-19 testing sites.
Here are some of our favorite images collected from Chinese social media.
A poster that was circulated on Xiaohongshu, marking the date that COVID started in Wuhan and ended in Guangzhou.
A healthcare worker's hazmat suit says "the whole situation is finally over."

Before: Long queues for a COVID test.

More QR codes being removed.
How it started, how it's going.

We would personally volunteer to help remove these QR codes.

People in restaurants, a beautiful site.
