Amid massive Covid surge, China to stop reporting daily infection figures
China's National Health Commission will stop releasing daily COVID-19 case figures for the country from Sunday, Reuters reported.
The country’s health body had been releasing the daily number of infections for the past three years.
"Relevant COVID information will be published by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention for reference and research," the NHC said in a statement, according to the report.
It did not specify the reasons for the change or how frequently China CDC will update COVID information, the report added.
