Beijing has pledged support for Hong Kong’s “scientific-based coronavirus adjustments” aimed at further opening up the city to mainland China and the world, despite frequent Covid-19 outbreaks across the country.

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”.
