BEIJING (Reuters) – Chinese state-owned telecom giant China Unicom (NYSE:) said on Monday it will delete users’ mobile itinerary data previously used to identify travellers in COVID-stricken areas from Dec. 13.

The statement comes as China announced the shutdown of the state-mandated mobile app tracking travellers in COVID-hit regions from the same date.
