BEIJING: The Chinese government says it expects about 2.1 billion domestic journeys to be made in the country over a 40-day travel season that includes the weeklong Lunar New Year holidays beginning Jan 21, amid fears the large-scale human migration could further spread Covid-19.
Starting on Saturday, the number of journeys forecast to be made during the Spring Festival travel rush will be almost double that of last previous year, as the end of the zero-Covid policy means few restrictions on people’s movements.
