While the massive initial waves of the COVID-19 pandemic have passed, the virus remains present in Chengdu as it does in most major global cities. Following the end of China's strict zero-COVID policy in late 2022, the city experienced a significant surge in cases as the virus became endemic. Current management of the virus in Chengdu focuses on personal protection and monitoring rather than the blanket lockdowns or mandatory mass testing seen in previous years. Travelers and residents are encouraged to maintain good hygiene, wear masks in crowded public spaces, and stay updated via official health commission reports, as local transmission can still occur. Though the city has returned to a state of normalcy with most restrictions lifted, visitors may still encounter health-related requirements for specific large-scale events or certain medical facilities.
