China will make significant changes to its “dynamic-zero” COVID-19 policy in coming months, said Zeng Guang, former chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a conference hosted by Citi on Friday.

Zeng said the conditions for China opening up were “accumulating”, citing new vaccines and progress the country had made in antiviral drug research.

“The situation is changing now and China’s ‘dynamic zero’ will also undergo major changes. Substantive changes will happen soon,” he said.
