It is not possible to completely eliminate the zero-covid policy at this time
However, Chinese health experts and economists have warned that the vaccination campaign will take several months. In addition, many more hospitals have to be built in China and a long-term strategy against the virus needs to be formulated.

Families who have been confined to their homes for four months say they have struggled to get food and medicine.
The National Health Commission said that people above the age of 60 years will be vaccinated in the vaccination campaign. The commission further informed that all those elders who are above 70 or 80 years of age and who are unable to get vaccinated outside the house, will be provided with the facility of mobile vaccination unit.
