Towards the end of March, it was proposed that control measures be withdrawn in a timely manner due to the record of zero cases in medium to high-risk areas in Chongqing. Normal operations were restored for business premises, including dine-in restaurants except for services for large gatherings. The Yukang health code policy was fully implemented among a series of four comprehensive requirements.
