China easing its zero-COVID policy

China is lifting its most severe COVID-19 policies - including forcing people into quarantine camps - just a week after landmark protests against the strict controls.
 
People with COVID-19 can now isolate at home rather than in state facilities if they have mild or no symptoms.
 
They also no longer need to show tests for most venues, and can travel more freely inside the country.
 
Citizens have expressed relief but also concern about the sudden changes.
 
The sweeping changes indicate China is finally moving away from its zero-COVID policy and looking to live with the virus like the rest of the world. This comes as the country grapples with its biggest wave of infections - more than 30,000 each day.
