On Tuesday, Hong Kong’s chief executive John Lee said that it will scrap its Covid-19 mask mandate from March 1.

The government's move is meant to lure back visitors and business and restore normal life to the region.

Missouri's attorney general has won a lawsuit blaming China for mishandling the Covid pandemic, with a state judge ruling that China must pay $24 billion in damages. Officials say they plan to seize Chinese assets within Missouri to enforce the ruling. China, however, has dismissed the lawsuit, calling it baseless in fact and law. The case marks a significant escalation in U.S.-China tensions over the origins and handling of the pandemic. The Chinese government did not respond in court, leading to the ruling in Missouri’s favor.
