Q: When can lockdown measures be lifted?
A: A high-risk area can be downgraded to a low-risk area when no new infections are found for five consecutive days and all residents test negative on the fifth day. When these requirements are met, lockdown measures should be lifted promptly, according to the protocol.
A low-risk area refers to all remaining areas in a county-level region where the high-risk area is located. Residents there are required to take precautions and avoid gathering, and present negative test results taken within 48 hours before leaving.
