BEIJING (Bloomberg): President Xi Jinping said China is capable of achieving a "final victory” over Covid-19, the day after his government issued revised guidelines to cut quarantine times and create a standardised approach that shows the country remains committed to its zero-tolerance approach.

Xi said the Covid Zero approach is the most effective and economic for the country, the official Xinhua News Agency reported, citing his comments from a trip on Tuesday (June 28) to Wuhan, where the virus first emerged.
