Three years into the pandemic, the world could be on the cusp of the biggest outbreak yet — in China.
The country had some of the strictest COVID polices anywhere, but in recent weeks has dramatically eased them.
And as China has dropped most testing and quarantine requirements, the virus is spreading largely unchecked. How could that impact China and the world?
NPR China affairs correspondent John Ruwitch, science correspondent Michaeleen Doucleff and chief economics correspondent Scott Horsley take stock of where things may be headed.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
