China cuts Covid quarantine

China has slashed its Covid-19 quarantine for incoming passengers

In a major reversal to its Covid-zero policy, China has cut its mandatory 14 day mandatory quarantine for international arrivals.

Instead of a mandatory 14 days in isolation, and another seven days of monitoring at home, the number of days has halved to seven and three days respectively.

Some hotels are also offering ‘stay-in packages’ for incoming travellers in some cities.

Shanghai Disneyland is also expected to open its doors in the coming days.

The relaxed measures are part of a sweeping review of the nation’s lockdown restrictions.

The nation has shut down major cities in recent months, as authorities stick with its controversial health policy.

The nation has previously enforced an isolation period of 21 days. 

Human Rights Watch says the Covid-zero measures are a “disaster for human rights”.

The nation of 1.4 billion shut its borders in March 2020 and has limited the number of international flights in a bid to keep out the virus out.

Chinese nationals have also been restricted non-essential travel overseas.

MDMA is a drug commonly known as molly or ecstasy.

Some medical professionals say it can be helpful for people with post-traumatic stress disorder — which is why a group has been fighting to get MDMA legalized as a prescription drug.

Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing an application to use MDMA to treat PTSD. The agency is expected to announce its ruling as soon as August.
