BEIJING, Jan 6 (Reuters): China’s main health authority on Friday adjusted Covid-19 prevention and control measures, saying it aimed to optimise clinical categorisation and treatment nearly a month after it scrapped a rigid zero-Covid policy.

The National Health Commission said it would add positive antigen tests as a diagnostic standard and adjust the criteria for discharging Covid-19 patients from hospital.
