Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that it will cancel the "asterisk" mark on communication itinerary cards, and the National Health Commission announced that it will shorten the quarantine regulations for immigrants from "14+7" to "7+3".

These two pieces of news have sent us at least the following four signals:

First, we must insist on advancing epidemic prevention and economic growth hand in hand, especially to prevent the occurrence of excessive epidemic prevention. After three years of epidemic prevention work, we can say that we have achieved remarkable results, but at the same time we have paid a huge economic price. We must gradually shift our focus to economic development.

The second is to implement more precise epidemic prevention measures. In the three years since the COVID-19 epidemic started in 2019, we have gone from being unprepared to being able to deal with it now. Our handling capabilities at all levels have also made qualitative progress. The focus of epidemic prevention should also be more precise, so as to "prevent all aspects of prevention." In particular, policies and systems have been used to prevent excessive epidemic prevention from occurring.

The third is to free up the energy at all levels and use it in economic development. In the past three years, most of the energy at all levels has been spent on epidemic prevention. They have to explain to their superiors and be responsible to their subordinates. It is self-evident that the burden on their shoulders is heavy. This policy adjustment has undoubtedly liberated the energy at all levels from epidemic prevention so that it can be invested in economic development.

Fourth, it is more in line with the current development of the epidemic. After the virus mutates, the mortality rate is significantly reduced, which also relieves a great psychological burden on the public, and they no longer "talk about the epidemic."
