Abstract

The antimicrobial resistance crisis has been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic.1 However, under its zero-COVID policy, China had a decline in antibiotic consumption,2 because the intensive non-pharmaceutical interventions aimed at controlling COVID-19 also prevented the spread of other airborne diseases and their subsequent infections. China also tightened drug selling to treat COVID-19-related symptoms as part of its zero-COVID efforts, which contributed to lessened self-medication with antibiotics.
