China’s National Health Commission, which for the past three years or so has published daily Covid-19 case figures for the country, said it will no longer release such data from Sunday.

“Relevant Covid information will be published by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention for reference and research,” the NHC said in a statement.

It did not specify the reasons for the change or how frequently China CDC will update Covid-19 information.

China is rapidly moving to resume normal economic activity as it dismantles the last vestiges of Covid Zero.

The country plans to cut quarantine requirements for overseas travellers in January, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.
