Beijing will allow home isolation for low-risk Covid-19 patients, starting with the most populous central district, Chaoyang: this signals a substantial change amid last weekend's protests against draconian 'zero tolerance' measures ' to the virus.
Low-risk patients will be able to self-isolate for a week if they wish, Bloomberg reported, citing sources close to the dossier.
At present, the infected are compulsorily sent to government quarantine sites regardless of severity to stop transmission chains.
