HONG KONG, Dec 5 — China may announce 10 new Covid-19 management measures as early as Wednesday, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, supplementing the 20 measures unveiled in November that set off a wave of Covid-easing steps across the nation.

China may eventually downgrade its management of Covid-19 as a top-level Category A infectious disease to a less strict Category B disease as early as January, the sources said today.

The National Health Commission did not immediately respond to a Reuters fax seeking comment. — Reuters
