Beijing authorities appear to have rescinded a planned vaccine mandate after popular outcries, scrapping what would have been mainland China’s first and only universal vaccine requirement.
Beijing announced Wednesday that people would be required to show proof of vaccination before entering some public facilities in response to an Omicron subvariant outbreak, according to the South China Morning Post. Complaints about the intended policy circulated online, and the government’s announcement was trending on Chinese social media platform Weibo, according to The Associated Press.
