As per news report of BBC, police officers have flooded now-empty protest sites, with some protesters saying police have contacted them to seek information on their whereabouts. Meanwhile the country's health officials say lockdowns should be "imposed and eased quickly". China has recorded record numbers of new cases in recent days. It is the only major economy with a zero-Covid policy, with local authorities clamping down on even small outbreaks with mass testing, quarantines and snap lockdowns. Over the weekend, thousands in China took to the streets demanding an end to the strict measures - with some even making rare calls for President Xi Jinping to stand down.
