National Health Commission Vice-Minister Cao Xuetao gave the assurance in a flagship healthcare summit held in Hong Kong on Thursday, after the city’s leader said authorities had been identifying room to ease more pandemic restrictions and working on dedicated plans “to bring a world of business back”.
