Capturing COVID-19 in photos
Images depict three years on China's front lines in the battle against the novel coronavirus
With the recent optimization of COVID-19 response measures and the adjustment of COVID-19 policies, China's fight against the epidemic is entering a new chapter.
Over the past three years, the country has stamped out more than 100 outbreaks and successfully mitigated five waves of COVID-19, while maintaining one of the lowest levels of infection and death in the world.
From Wuhan in Hubei province to Shanghai, and from the Delta variant to Omicron, China has tackled the uncertainties presented by the epidemic, resulting in a rise in life expectancy from 77.9 in 2020 to 78.2 last year, according to the National Health Commission.
China Daily photographers have often been on the front line of the battle against COVID-19 over the years, and their photos bear witness to the efforts that have gone into epidemic prevention and control.
