Wuxi city in East China's Jiangsu Province on Thursday destroyed an initial batch of 1 billion pieces of personal data related to COVID-19 information to make efforts to boost citizen privacy.

China downgraded COVID-19 management on January 8 and normalized epidemic prevention and control, the personal data played an important role in making scientific decisions and taking precise measures to deal with the epidemic. 

Data collected during the epidemic were used for nucleic acid screening, epidemiological investigation of origin-tracing, prevention of imported cases and nucleic acid testing for key populations. The personal data had provided support for the smooth implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures.

The destruction of personal data reflects the concept of governing. Data that have been used now can be safely destroyed ensuring that it is unable to be stolen, warehoused or manipulated.
