On Monday, China announced it will drop a COVID-19 quarantine requirement for passengers arriving from abroad while downgrading the management of the disease.The scrapping of isolation for incoming passengers is a major step toward fully reopening travel with the rest of the world, which the government severely curtailed in a bid to keep the virus out.Commuters in the capital gave a mixed reaction to the changes and the ongoing management of the rise in cases following the decision to change course from the "zero-COVID" strategy.
