According to Xinhua, the state news agency in Beijing, Chinese health officials will abolish mandatory testing for hepatitis B during physical exams given to college students, factory workers, and government employees.
The new rules, mean that people found to be carrying the hepatitis B virus will not be automatically barred from jobs and classrooms. It is estimated that 120 million people in China are thought to be infected. It is not uncommon in China for hepatitis B carriers to be barred from medical school, teaching positions or jobs in the food production industry.
