Key Words to Understand China: The Fight Against COVID-19 

 

第一批词条（24条）

 

一、中央决策

Decisions by the Central Leadership

生命重于泰山  

生命安全和身体健康，是人民群众的基本需求和普遍愿望。中共十八大以来，习近平始终高度重视人民健康安全，在不同场合多次发表关于保障人民健康安全的重要论述。新冠肺炎疫情发生后，以习近平同志为核心的党中央高度重视，迅速做出部署，全面加强对疫情防控的集中统一领导。2020年1月25日，农历正月初一，中共中央政治局常委会召开会议，专门听取新冠肺炎疫情防控工作汇报，习近平主持会议并发表重要讲话，强调“生命重于泰山”。实际上，自疫情发生以来，他已经多次作出重要指示批示，要求各级党委和政府及有关部门把人民群众生命安全和身体健康放在第一位，把疫情防控作为当前最重要的工作来抓，采取切实有效措施，坚决遏制疫情蔓延势头。

 

生命重于泰山，即人民生命高于一切。具体而言，就是要坚持以人为本、生命至上，不惜一切代价抢救生命、救治患者；就是要不遗余力做好各项防控措施，“宁可十防九空，不可失防万一”；就是要坚持其他工作安排都要为人民群众生命安全和身体健康让路，按照党中央决策部署全面动员、全面部署、全面加强防控工作。“生命重于泰山”彰显了人民利益高于一切的重要原则，体现了中国共产党全心全意为人民服务的根本宗旨。

 

Saving Lives Is of Paramount Importance.

 

Safety and health are the basic needs of the people. Xi Jinping attaches great importance to these two issues, and has given instructions on ensuring people’s health and safety on different occasions.

Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core has made thorough arrangements and strengthened centralized and unified leadership overthe prevention and control of the epidemic. On January 25, 2020, the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting and listened to a report on epidemic prevention and control. Xi Jinping presided over the meeting andemphasized that "saving lives is of paramount importance."

 

He demanded Party committees and governments at all levels to give top priority to people's safety and health, and take epidemic control a most important work in the immediate future. He required effective measures to be taken to contain the outbreak.

 

“Saving lives is of paramount importance.” – This echoes the CPC’s mission of serving the people whole-heartedly and its principle of taking the interests of the people above everything else. It is the CPC's pledge to save lives and cure patients at allcosts. It will spare no effort and adopt all measures necessary to combat the epidemic. For the current time, other work should make way for the efforts to protect the safety and health of the people. Implementing the decisions by the CPC Central Committee, the whole country will take comprehensive actions in social mobilization, deployment, and prevention and control of the epidemic.

疫情就是命令，防控就是责任

 

做好疫情防控工作，直接关系人民生命安全和身体健康，直接关系经济社会大局稳定，也事关国家对外开放。

 

在2020年1月25日召开的中共中央政治局常委会专题会议上，习近平听取新冠肺炎疫情防控工作汇报并强调，“疫情就是命令，防控就是责任”。这是疫情防治关键时刻中共中央作出的重要部署，体现了中国共产党人心系人民的责任担当。这一部署要求各级领导干部特别是主要领导干部深入疫情防控第一线，及时发声指导，及时掌握疫情，及时采取行动，做到守土有责、守土尽责。疫情防控是一场不能懈怠的赛跑，要以最快速度救治患者，以最快速度控制疫情，容不得有丝毫犹疑、丝毫侥幸；要做好疫情监测、排查、预警等工作，争分夺秒遏制疫情蔓延势头；要实施最有利最有效的举措，开展最大范围的全民动员，筑起一道道坚固的防线。

 

Go Where There Is Epidemic, FightIt till It Perishes.

 

Epidemic prevention and control directly concerns the safety and health of the people, the overall stability of the economy and society, and the country's opening up to the outside world.

 

After hearing the report on epidemic prevention and control at the meeting held on January 25, 2020, Xi Jinping ordered, "Go where there is epidemic, fight it till it perishes."

 

This is an important deployment made by the CPC Central Committee at a critical moment. It reflects the Chinese Communists' care about the people, who always put the people in the first place. It requires leading officials at all levels, especially major ones, to go deep into the front line of epidemic prevention and control, fulfill their responsibilities by giving timely guidance, closely monitoring the situation and taking prompt actions. Epidemic prevention and control is a race againsttime. Concerted efforts must be taken to treat patients and contain the spread of the virus at the fastest speed, without even the slightest hesitation. All-out efforts are need to carry out epidemic monitoring, screening, and early warning, and to curb the spread of the virus racing against the clock. Enormous efforts must be exerted to implement the most effective measures, mobilize the people to the largest extent, and build a solid line of defense against the epidemic.

把疫情防控工作作为当前最重要的工作来抓

 

新冠肺炎疫情是新中国成立以来在国内发生的传播速度最快、感染范围最广、防控难度最大的一次重大突发公共卫生事件。

 

在2020年1月25日召开的中共中央政治局常委会专题会议上，习近平听取新冠肺炎疫情防控工作汇报并强调，“把疫情防控工作作为当前最重要的工作来抓”。这是在当前疫情防控非常时期的明确定位，为坚决打赢这场没有硝烟的战役标定了清晰坐标。

 

把疫情防控工作作为当前最重要的工作来抓，是因为人命关天，人民至上，必须把人民群众生命安全和身体健康放在第一位，做到抢救生命不惜财物、守护健康不畏繁难、防控疫情不避艰辛；是因为当前疫情传播呈扩散态势，必须坚持“宁可十防九空，不可失防万一”，只有把问题想得严重一些，把风险想得大一些，把措施定得更周密一些，才能跑赢疫情传播速度，赢得打赢疫情防控阻击战的主动权，有力有效遏制疫情蔓延势头。

 

疫情发生以来，习近平时刻关注着疫情防控工作，不断作出重要指示批示。中共中央印发《关于加强党的领导、为打赢疫情防控阻击战提供坚强政治保证的通知》。中央应对疫情工作领导小组及时研究部署工作，前方指导组也积极开展工作。国务院应对新冠肺炎疫情联防联控机制加强统筹协调，及时协调解决防控工作中遇到的紧迫问题。各级党委和政府积极作为，同时间赛跑，与病魔较量，形成了抗击疫情的强大合力。

 

Epidemic Prevention and Control: Top of Current Agenda

 

The novel coronavirus epidemic is a major public health emergency with the fastest spread and the widest range of infections, and has been the most difficult to prevent and control in China since the founding of the People's Republic in 1949.

 

At the meeting held on January 25, 2020, Xi Jinping emphasized that epidemic prevention and control must be put at the top of current agenda. This underscored the work in this emergency period and set clear coordinates for resolutely winning the war without smoke.

 

Putting epidemic prevention and control at the top of current agenda – This is because people's lives are of supreme importance, and people's health and safety are the top priority. China will save people’s lives at any cost, safe guard their health despite any difficulties, and prevent and control the epidemic without shying away from any hardships. As the epidemic spreads, China will do everything possible to combatit. Only by taking the problem more seriously and implementing more thoughtful measures, can the country out run the epidemic, gain the initiative to win the war, and effectively curb its spread.

 

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Xi Jinping has paid close attention to and made important instructions on virus prevention and control. The CPC Central Committee has issued a circular on strengthening Party leadership and providing strong political support for the battle. The Central Leading Group for COVID-19 Prevention and Control has made timely study and arrangements for relevant work, and the Central Guiding Team dispatched to Hubei province has actively carried out their work. The Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council was developed for overall planning and inter-agency coordination, which has promptly solved many pressing issuesin epidemic prevention and control. In the meantime, Party committees and governments at all levels have taken active steps to outrun the epidemic. A strong joint force to battle the epidemic has been formed.

坚定信心、同舟共济、科学防治、精准施策

 

在2020年1月25日召开的中共中央政治局常委会专题会议上，习近平指出，要坚定信心、同舟共济、科学防治、精准施策，打赢疫情防控阻击战。这是中共中央审时度势、综合研判，对新冠肺炎疫情防控工作提出的总要求。

 

坚定信心，就是面对新冠肺炎疫情加快蔓延的严重形势，相信我们有底气、有能力打赢这场疫情防控阻击战。同舟共济，就是加强党中央集中统一领导，各级党委和政府深刻认识做好新冠肺炎疫情防控工作的重要性和紧迫性，坚定不移地把党中央各项决策部署落到实处。科学防治，就是相信科学、依靠科学，联合国内外各方面专家开展科研攻关，强化科研与临床合作，尽快研制出快速简易的确诊方式，抓紧研发疫苗和有效药物，做到准确识变、科学应变、主动求变，把牢疫情防控的要害处、关键点。精准施策，就是针对不同区域情况，完善差异化防控策略，在坚决打好湖北保卫战、武汉保卫战的同时，全力做好北京疫情防控工作，落实非疫情防控重点地区分区分级精准防控策略。

 

United to Take Science-Based and Targeted Measures and Fight the Epidemic with Confidence

 

At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPCCentral Committee on January 25, 2020, Xi Jinping called on the whole nation to be united, take science-based and targeted measures against the epidemic, and have confidence in conquering the virus. This is a general requirement by the CPC Central Committee for COVID-19 prevention and control based on a thorough analysis of the situation.

 

Having confidence implies that the Chinese nation has the strength and ability to contain the spread of the virus and win the battle in the end. Working in great unity, the whole country follows the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, and Party committees and governments at all levels fully understand the importance and urgency of epidemic prevention and control, and implement the decisions and arrangements made by the CPC Central Committee in real earnest. Defeating the epidemic requires a strong scientific underpinning. In its science-based response to the outbreak, China has engaged both Chinese and foreign experts in relevant fields to carry out scientific research on COVID-19 prevention and control, enhance cooperation between scientific research and clinical trials, and race against time to explore rapid and simple ways of diagnosis and develop vaccines and effective drugs. Taking targeted measures means to adopt varied prevention and control policies according to different regional conditions. While endeavoring to protect Hubei province and its capital city Wuhan, all-out efforts are also made to fight the epidemic in Beijing. The areas that are not key places for virus prevention and control will adopt region-specific targeted approaches based on an assessment of localrisks.

坚决打赢疫情防控的人民战争、总体战、阻击战

 

2020年2月10日，习近平在北京市调研时指出，坚决打赢疫情防控的人民战争、总体战、阻击战。此后他又在多个场合强调了这一原则。

 

疫情防控是一场人民战争。做好疫情防控工作直接关系到人民身体健康，关系到人民生活水平和质量，必须紧紧依靠人民群众坚决打赢疫情防控狙击战。这就要求各级党委和政府牢记“人民利益高于一切”，把人民群众生命安全和身体健康放在第一位，把疫情防控工作作为当前最重要的工作来抓，将宗旨意识转化为战“疫”行动，切实增强人民群众的安全感。面对疫情，各级党委和政府要“凝聚人民力量”，在发挥好战斗堡垒和先锋模范作用的同时，广泛动员群众、组织群众、凝聚群众。

 

疫情防控是一场总体战。这就要求各级党委和政府坚持全国一盘棋，统一指挥、统一协调、统一调度，掌握疫情防范知识和技能，做好疫情防范工作，增强战胜疫情的信心和决心；坚持上下同心，众志成城，全面落实联防联控措施，构筑起联防联控的严密防线，汇聚起抗击疫情的强大合力；坚持防控不只是医药卫生问题，而是全方位的工作，要让各项工作都为打赢疫情防控阻击战提供支持。

 

疫情防控是一场阻击战。此次疫情来势汹汹、传染性强、传播速度快，这就要求广大党员干部时刻保持“赶考”心态、激发奋斗状态，以信仰守护初心，用担当诠释使命，把更多的时间和精力投入到疫情防控第一线，汇聚起人人奋发、个个争先的磅礴力量，战胜抗击疫情道路上的各种艰难险阻，向党和人民交出更加精彩的新答卷。

 

A Nation’s War on the Epidemic

 

During an inspection in Beijing on February 10, 2020, Xi Jinping encouraged the people to be determined to fight and winthe battle against the epidemic by mobilizing all resources to control the spread of the virus. He has reiterated this resolution on different occasions.

 

Epidemic prevention and control is a war that involves every one of the nation. The epidemic directly endangers the people’s health and their living standards. The government must closely rely on the people to fight and win the battle against the epidemic. Party committees and governments at all levels must "take the interests of the people above everything else," give top priority to people's safety and health, and put epidemic prevention and control at the top of current agenda. They must bear in mind the fundamental purpose of the Party, spare no effort to combat the epidemic, and enhance the people's sense of security. In the face of the epidemic, Party committees and governments at all levels should "pool the strength of the people" and extensively mobilize, organize, and rally the people while playing the role of exemplary vanguard.

 

Epidemic prevention and control is a war that calls for all-out efforts. Party committees and governments at all levels must act in a coordinated national response and follow unified command, coordination and dispatch. They need to acquire relevant knowledge and skills of epidemic prevention, have greater confidence and be more resolved to defeat the epidemic. They must unite as one like a fortress, fully implement the joint prevention and control measures, put up an effective defense, and build a strong synergy against the virus. They must know that epidemic prevention and control is not an issue merely about medicine and health, but a task that demands all-out efforts, and all work must provide support for winning the war against the epidemic.

 

Epidemic prevention and control is a war to stop the epidemic from spreading. Facing the menacing, highly contagious and fast-spreading epidemic, all Party members and officials must get prepared for this unprecedented test. They must keep up the spirit, stay true to the mission of the Chinese Communists, and bravely shoulder the responsibility. They must devote more time and energy to the front line of epidemic prevention and control, pool the strength of every citizen, strive to overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, and hand over a perfect answer sheet to the Party and the people.

The Central Guiding Team Dispatched to Hubei Province and Other Severely-Hit Regions

 

Wuhan city and Hubei province are the top priorities of epidemic prevention and control, and the main battle fields of the war against the virus. On January 25, 2020, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee decided to dispatch a Central Guiding Team to Hubei province and other regions severely hit by the epidemic, aiming to comprehensively strengthen epidemic prevention and control on the front line.

 

The Central Guiding Team has three major duties: (1) to guide and supervise Hubei province and Wuhan city to implement the arrangements made by the central leadership; (2) to guide Hubei and Wuhan in the battle against the epidemic and increase prevention andcontrol forces; and (3) to investigate negative, wrong and irresponsible actions, supervise local rectification, and deal with those problems in accordance with laws and discipline.

 

Led by Sun Chunlan, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier ofthe State Council, the Central Guiding Team arrived in Wuhan on January 27. Empowered to comprehensively strengthen frontline epidemic prevention and control, the Central Guiding Team mainly carries out work in five aspects: (1) to strengthen prevention and control at the source, make arrangements such as traffic restraint and extension of Spring Festival break, in order to interrupt epidemic transmission; (2) to do everything possible to deploy resources to satisfy the need for medical workers and medical supplies, increase hospital beds, and ensure the supply of daily necessities for the local residents; (3) to coordinate the efforts in treating and curing patients, building temporary treatment centers, thorough infection screening, classified and multi-level treatment for patients, and management of the four groups of people who are confirmed patients, suspected cases, febrile and close contacts, and promote the use of traditional Chinese medicine in disease treatment; (4) to organize the conducting of epidemiological investigations, tracking and studying of the source of infection and the route and mechanism of transmission, and timely analysis of the epidemic trend; and (5) to clarify the duties for administrative divisions, industry sectors, units, and individuals and ensure their full performance.

 

The Central Guiding Team has worked alongside with the people in Wuhan and other places of Hubei province, and focused their work on epidemic prevention and control, treating and curing patients, and ensuring medical supplies, thus playing a key role on the frontline of the battle.

分区分级做好疫情防控工作

 

2020年1月25日，中共中央政治局常委会专题会议对科学防治、精准施策作出部署，要求分类指导各地做好疫情防控工作。2月17日，国务院应对新冠肺炎疫情联防联控机制印发《关于科学防治精准施策分区分级做好新冠肺炎疫情防控工作的指导意见》。《意见》指出，各地各有关部门要贯彻中央关于突出重点、统筹兼顾，分类指导、分区施策的要求，依据《中华人民共和国传染病防治法》、《突发公共卫生事件应急条例》等法律法规，分区分级精准防控，统筹疫情防控与经济社会秩序恢复。

 

分区分级做好疫情防控工作，就是立足地区特点和疫情形势因应施策。各地要制定差异化的县域防控和恢复经济社会秩序的措施，即以县（市、区、旗）为单位，依据人口、发病情况综合研判，科学划分疫情风险等级，明确分级分类的防控策略；划小管控单元，辖区内的城乡社区、机关、企事业单位、社会组织和个人均应按要求落实相关防控措施。湖北省和武汉市要采取更严格、更有针对性、更加管用有效的措施，内防扩散、外防输出，把疫情扩散遏制住；要切实保障各种物资供应，确保人民群众正常基本生活。北京市要全力做好疫情防控工作，坚决抓好外防输入、内防扩散两大环节，尽最大可能切断传染源，尽最大可能控制疫情波及范围，确保首都安全。其他地区要加强组织领导，坚持依法防控，做好分区分级差异化防控，落实防控要求和救治要求，有序恢复生产生活秩序。

 

Region-Specific and Multi-Level Approaches to Epidemic Prevention and Control

 

In addition to science-based and targeted measures against the virus, the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committeeon January 25, 2020 also required sector-specific guidance on epidemic prevention and control.

 

On February 17, the inter-agency task force under the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council issueda package of guidelines on taking science-based, targeted, region-specific, andmulti-level measures for epidemic prevention and control. According to the guidelines, all provincial governments and central departments must enforce the central leadership's requirements by focusing on key issues, strengthening coordination, giving sector-specific guidance, and applying different policies for different areas. They are required to take region-specific, multi-level targeted approaches to epidemic prevention and control in accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases and the Regulations on the Urgent Handling of Public Health Emergencies, and coordinate epidemic prevention and control and restoration of economic and social order.

 

Region-specific and multi-level approaches are meant to suit the specific features and epidemic situations of different regions. In line with the guidelines, differentiated policies will be adopted for epidemic control and restoration of economic and social order in different places. Counties and other county-level administrative regions (cities, districts and banners) need to conduct a comprehensive analysis of local population and epidemic severity, make science-based classification of the virus risk, and take appropriate prevention and control strategies accordingly. They should divide their management and control grids into smaller pieces, and urban and rural communities, government bodies, enterprises and institutions, social organizations and individuals within their jurisdiction must follow relevant rules for virus prevention and control.

 

Hubei province and Wuhan city are required to take more stringent, more targeted, and more effective measures to curb the spread of the epidemic within their jurisdictions and beyond, and ensure the supply of all kinds of materials and basic necessities for the local people. Beijing, capital of China, must make every effort to fight the epidemic, resolutely guard against imported cases and spread of the virus within the city, and cut off the source of infection to ensure the city’s safety. Other areas should strengthen organization and leadership, abide by relative laws and regulations, carry out differentiated epidemic control, implement relative requirements on epidemic prevention and treatment of patients, and restore the order of production and life in an orderly manner.

及时准确、公开透明发布疫情信息

 

2020年1月25日，中共中央政治局常委会专题会议强调，要及时准确、公开透明发布疫情信息，回应境内外关切；要及时向世界卫生组织、有关国家和地区组织以及港澳台地区通报疫情信息，加强合作、全力应对，共同维护地区和全球卫生安全。2月3日，习近平在中共中央政治局常委会会议上发表讲话，要求多层次、高密度发布权威信息，正视存在的问题，回应群众的关切，增强及时性、针对性、专业性。2月23日，习近平在统筹推进新冠肺炎疫情防控和经济社会发展工作部署会议上发表讲话，要求完善疫情信息发布，依法做到公开、透明、及时、准确。

 

按照中央统一部署和要求，国务院新闻办公室1月26日起不定期就新冠病毒肺炎疫情联防联控工作有关情况举行发布会；2月15日首次将发布会现场前移至抗疫最前沿——湖北武汉。1月27日起，国家卫生健康委每天上午举行新闻发布会。2月3日起，国务院应对新冠肺炎疫情联防联控机制新闻发布会每日举行。与此同时，湖北省及部分疫情比较重的地方每天也都举行新闻发布会。上述发布会及时通报疫情情况、防控举措、抗“疫”效果，主动回应社会关切、压缩谣言空间，进一步提高了新闻舆论工作的针对性和有效性。

 

Prompt Release of Accurate Epidemic Information

 

The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee demanded at its meeting on January 25, 2020 prompt release of accurate information on the epidemic and timely response to concerns at home and aboard. It also required providing timely updates of the epidemic with the World HealthOrganization (WHO), relevant countries and regional organizations, Hong KongSAR, Macao SAR and Taiwan province, and enhancing cooperation in an all-outresponse to the epidemic, in order to jointly safe guard regional and global health safety.

 

Speaking to a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau on February 3, Xi Jinping required frequent release of authoritative information by relevant agencies at different levels, addressing existing problems squarely, an dresponding to public concerns in a timely and specialist manner with a clear aim. At another meeting held on February 23 to promote nationwide epidemic control and economic and social development, he urged improving the release of epidemic information, which shall be made in an open, transparent, timely and accurate manner in accordance with the law.

 

Following the arrangements and requirements by the central leadership, the State Council Information Office has since January 26 held press conferences at irregular intervals on the joint efforts in virus prevention and control. On February 15, it for the first time moved its pressroom to Wuhan, the forefront of epidemic prevention and control. Starting from January 27, the National Health Commission (NHC) has held press conferences every morning. Starting from February 3, the inter-agency task force under the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council has held press conferences daily. Hubei province and other regions severely hit by the epidemic also hold press conferences every day.

 

By releasing latest information about the epidemic, prevention and control measures and effects, these press conferences have taken the initiative in responding to public concerns and quashing rumors, thus have further improved the effectiveness of information disclosure.

 

三、具体措施

Effective Measures

 

10

 

早发现、早报告、早隔离、早治疗

 

“早发现、早报告、早隔离、早治疗”是中央对防控新冠肺炎疫情提出的明确要求，也是中国科学防治新冠肺炎的一项重要措施。2020年 1月20日，国家卫生健康委高级别专家组研判指出，在疫情上升期，早发现、早隔离是最有效的防控手段，要尽可能减少传播。1月25日中共中央政治局常委会召开专题会议，要求做好疫情监测、排查、预警等工作，切实做到早发现、早报告、早隔离、早治疗。

 

随着疫情防控进入关键阶段，国务院应对新冠肺炎疫情联防联控机制印发《关于进一步强化责任落实做好防治工作的通知》，对防控措施作出具体要求：及早发现和隔离病毒感染者，有效阻断疫情扩散蔓延；前移疫情防控关口，加强社区网格化管理，将各项防控措施抓早抓小、落细落实；进一步提高检测能力，优化确诊程序、缩短确诊时间，实行边诊边治。2月23日，习近平在统筹推进新冠肺炎疫情防控和经济社会发展工作部署会议上发表重要讲话，明确早发现、早报告、早隔离、早治疗的防控要求，强调要坚决遏制疫情扩散输出，对确诊患者应收尽收，对疑似患者应检尽检，对密切接触者应隔尽隔，落实“四早”要求，找到管好每一个风险环节，决不能留下任何死角和空白。

 

随着“早发现、早报告、早隔离、早治疗”措施逐渐显效，疫情蔓延势头得到初步遏制，防控工作取得阶段性成效。

 

Early Detection, Reporting, Isolation and Treatment

 

"Early detection, reporting, isolation and treatment" is a definite principle put forward by the central leadership for epidemic prevention and control, and it is also an important measure taken by the country to fight the virus.

 

On January 20, 2020, the High-level Expert Group of the NHC pointed out that against the rapid escalation of the virus, early detection and early isolation are the most effective means to block it and keep transmission to a minimum. The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on January 25 demanded monitoring, screening and early warning be conducted to ensure early detection, reporting, isolation and treatment.

 

As epidemic prevention and control entered a critical stage, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on February 7 issued a document on theres ponsibilities of different parties during epidemic prevention and control. The document emphasized the urgency of early detection and early isolation of infected people to effectively prevent the transmission of the virus. For thisend, it is necessary to deploy preventive methods at an early stage and perform meticulous community grid management. It is also necessary to further improvethe testing capability, optimize the diagnostic process, shorten diagnosistime, and carry out diagnosis and treatment simultaneously.

 

At the national meeting for coordinating China's epidemic control and economic and social development, held on February 23, Xi Jinping reiterated the principle of early detection, reporting, isolation and treatment. He urged more efforts to resolutely curbthe spread of the epidemic, hospitalize all confirmed patients, conduct thorough tests of all suspected patients, and isolate all those close contacts. He demanded tracking and managing every potential risk without leaving any deadcorners.

 

With the efforts made in "earlydetection, reporting, isolation and treatment," the spread of the epidemic has been initially curbed, and phased effects have been achieved in the prevention and control of the epidemic.

火神山医院

 

隔离和收治是新冠肺炎疫情防控工作的重点任务。为确保疑似和确诊病例“应收尽收、应治尽治”，2020年1月23日，武汉市决定参照2003年抗击非典期间北京小汤山医院模式，在武汉市蔡甸区知音湖附近建设一座专门医院，集中收治新冠肺炎患者，命名“火神山医院”。当日施工筹备工作启动后，设计人员在五小时内完成场地平整设计图，60小时内交付全部设计施工图。7000多名建设者们驰援武汉、齐心协力、日夜奋战，先后完成了通信基建、土地平整、测绘定位、病房搭设和电力施工等任务，仅用10天建成了这座收治患者的“安全岛”。2日2日，火神山医院正式交付解放军支援湖北医疗队管理使用。火神山医院总建筑面积近3.4万平方米，设置床位1000张，开设重症病区、普通病区，设置感染控制、检验、特诊、放射诊断等辅助科室。

 

2月3日，经中央军委主席习近平批准，军队抽组1400名医护人员承担火神山医院医疗救治任务。这些医护人员中有不少人曾参加小汤山医院抗击非典任务，援助塞拉利昂、利比里亚抗击埃博拉疫情，具有丰富的传染病救治经验。2月4日，国家医疗保障局宣布将火神山医院纳入医保定点医院，执行公立医院收费标准，火神山医院正式接诊新冠肺炎确诊患者。2月13日，火神山医院首批治愈患者出院。

 

火神山医院的建设展现了稳中有急、静中有争的“中国速度”。医院建设期间，工地现场开设24小时直播，数千万中外网络用户以“云监工”形式为一线建设者点赞加油。

 

Huoshenshan Hospital

 

Isolation and admission of patients are the key tasks in epidemic prevention and control. To ensure that all suspected and confirmed cases could be received and treated, Wuhan decided on January 23, 2020 to build an emergency hospital near Zhiyin Lake in Caidian District, following the practice of Beijing when the capital built the Xiaotangshan Hospital during its fight against SARS in 2003. Named "Huoshenshan" ("Fire God Mountain"), the new hospital was designed to treat patients suffering from novel coronavirus pneumonia.

 

After the decision was made and preparatory work was launched, the designers completed the site plans within five hours and delivered all design and construction drawings within 60 hours. More than 7,000 construction workers rushed to assist Wuhan. By working around the clock in three shifts and completing the tasks of communication sinfrastructure, land leveling, surveying and mapping, ward installation, and power construction, they were able to complete the construction in merely 10 days. On February 2, Huoshenshan Hospital was officially delivered to the medical units of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) that came earlier to assist Wuhan.

 

With a total floor space of 34,000 square meters, Huoshenshan Hospital has 1,000 beds for intensive care units and general wards. It has supportive departments covering infection control, clinical laboratory, special treatment, and radiodiagnosis.

 

On February 3, with the approval of Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, 1,400 PLA medical personnel were deployed to staff the new Huoshenshan Hospital. Many of them have worked at Xiaotangshan Hospital in the fight against SARS, assisted Sierra Leone and Liberia in the fight against Ebola, and have rich experience in the treatment of infectious diseases.

 

On February 4, the National Healthcare Security Administration announced to include Huoshenshan Hospital asone designated hospital of medical insurance, and the new hospital would adopt the charging standards of public hospitals. On the same day, Huoshenshan Hospital began to receive confirmed patients. On February 13, the hospital discharged the first group of cured patients.

 

The construction of Huoshenshan Hospital shows the "Chinese speed" at a time of urgency. During the construction of the hospital, a 24-hour live broadcast was streamed on the construction site. Every day, tens of millions of Chinese and foreign netizens voluntarily acted as "cloud supervisors" to root for the builders on the front line.

雷神山医院

 

2020年1月25日，火神山医院建设刚刚展开，武汉市决定在武汉市江夏区黄家湖附近再建设一所专门医院，集中收治各医院发热门诊和住院确诊的新冠病毒肺炎患者，定名“雷神山医院”。

 

面对疫情，设计者和建设者们分秒必争。1月26日，医院设计总体方案完成；1月27日，开始大规模施工；1月28日，完成通信基站基础设施新建及改造任务；1月29日，完成电力配套工程建设，开始供电运行。建设高峰期，逾万名建设者、近1500台机械设备昼夜不停施工。经过10余天施工建设，雷神山医院于2月8日交付使用，由武汉大学中南医院正式接管，当晚开始收治首批患者。医院建设面积近8万平方米，分为医疗隔离区、医护生活区和综合后勤区三个部分，共设1600张床位。2月18日，这所医院首例治愈患者出院。

 

与火神山医院一样，雷神山医院也是中国抗击新冠肺炎疫情的重大工程。在以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导下，各建设单位党组织团结带领干部职工，坚定不移落实中央决策部署，众志成城、全力以赴，筑就了普通劳动者的奋斗奇迹，彰显了集中力量办大事的社会主义制度优势，为打赢疫情防控阻击战提供了重要保障。

 

Leishenshan Hospital

 

On January 25, 2020, as the construction of Huoshenshan Hospital had just begun, Wuhan decided to build another emergency hospital near Huangjia Lake, Jiangxia District. The new hospital, named "Leishenshan" ("Thunder God Mountain") was designed to treat patients of novel coronavirus pneumonia diagnosed in fever clinics or transferred from other hospitals.

 

In the face of the epidemic, the designers and builders counted against the clock. On January 26, the overall design plan of the hospital was completed; on January 27, large-scale construction began; on January 28, the construction and renovation of communication base station infrastructure saw completion; and on January 29, power supporting engineering was completed and began to supply electricity tothe hospital. At the peak period of construction, more than 10,000 builders and nearly 1,500 sets of machinery and equipment fought together, night and day.

 

After more than 10 days of construction, Leishenshan Hospital was put into use on February 8, officially taken over by Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, and the first group of patients were admitted that night.

 

The hospital covers an area of nearly 80,000 square meters and is divided into three parts: isolation area for the patients, living area for the medical staff, and logistics area, with atotal of 1,600 beds. On February 18, the first cured patients in Leishenshan Hospital were discharged.

 

Like Huoshenshan Hospital, Leishenshan Hospital was also a major project for China to fight the novel coronavirus epidemic. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core, the Party organizations of all construction units had unswervingly implemented the decisions and deployments made by the CPCC entral Committee. Ordinary workers united as one, spared no effort, and created a miracle. Construction of the hospital has demonstrated the institutional advantage of the system of socialism, that is, by concent rating efforts on major initiatives, a vital guarantee was formed for winning the war against the epidemic.

方舱医院

 

方舱医院是以医疗方舱为载体，综合集成医疗与医技保障功能的现代化机动医疗系统，由医疗功能单元、病房单元和技术保障单元等部分构成，主要承担重大灾害救援、应急支援保障、巡回医疗服务等任务。方舱医院具有机动性好、展开部署快、环境适应性强等特点，能够适应突发的应急医学救援任务，受到各国普遍重视。

 

20世纪90年代起，中国开始自行设计研制方舱医院系统。经不断改造升级，第二代方舱医院先后在汶川、玉树抗震救灾中执行医疗救援任务。2020年2月，随着新冠肺炎疫情发展，武汉市将一批体育馆、会展中心、培训中心、工业园区厂房、职业高中等场地改造建成方舱医院，用于收治隔离轻症患者和观察病例。这些特殊的“急救医院”功能齐备，可以开展紧急救治、外科处置、临床检验等多项任务，同时配备心理医生团队，为患者提供心理支持和疏导。2月16日，国家发展改革委安排中央预算内投资2.3亿元，支持武汉市方舱医院完善设施及增添必要的医疗设备，以增强收治能力。截至2月22日，武汉市已投入运行16家方舱医院，开放病床超过12,000张。

 

建立和实施方舱医院是保障病患隔离、分流病患诊治、扩大收治容量、控制疫情发展的一项有效措施，在国家公共卫生应急保障中发挥重要作用。

 

Temporary Treatment Centers

 

Temporary treatment center, better known as "mobile cabin hospital" in China, is a modern mobile medical system that takes medical cabin as the carrier and integrates the functions of medical treatment and clinical technology. Composed of medical treatment units, ward units and technical support units, temporary treatment centers are mainly used in major disaster rescue, emergency support, it inerant medical services, and other tasks. With such features as good mobility, fast deployment and strong environmental adapt ability, these improvised hospitals are capable of under taking medical rescue tasks at emergencies and therefore are valued by many countries.

 

China began to design and develop its own temporary treatment center system in the 1990s. The second-generation temporary treatment centers successively carriedout medical rescue tasks in earthquake relief in Wenchuan and Yushu.

 

In February 2020, facing the spread of COVID-19, Wuhan transformed several gymnasiums, convention and exhibitioncenters, training centers, industrial park factories, vocational high schools and other venues into temporary treatment centers to isolate mild casesand cases under observation. These emergency hospitals have complete functionsand can carry out emergency treatment, surgical treatment, clinical tests and other tasks. They also have a team of psychologists to provide psychological support and counseling for patients.

 

On February 16, the National Development and Reform Commission arranged 230 million yuan (32.81 milliondollars) in the central budget to support the temporary treatment centersin Wuhan to improve their facilities and add necessary medical equipment to enhance their treatment capacities. By February 22, 16 temporary treatment centershad been put into operation in Wuhan, offering more than 12,000 beds.

 

Establishing temporary treatment centers is an effective measure to ensure patient isolation, decrease patient density, expand treatment capacity and control the spread ofthe epidemic. Temporary treatment centers have played an important role in providing emergency support for the national public health system.

 

四、疫情发展

About COVID-19

新型冠状病毒

 

新型冠状病毒因2019年病毒性肺炎病例而被发现，是以前从未在人类中发现的冠状病毒新毒株。已知的冠状病毒可引起感冒或中东呼吸综合征（MERS）、严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）等不同程度的疾病。

 

2020年2月8日，国家卫生健康委将新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎暂命名为新型冠状病毒肺炎（简称新冠肺炎），并于2月19日发布《新型冠状病毒肺炎诊疗方案（试行第六版）》，指出经呼吸道飞沫和密切接触传播是主要的传播途径，在相对封闭的环境中长时间暴露于高浓度气溶胶情况下中存在经气溶胶传播的可能；以发热、干咳、乏力为主要临床表现，潜伏期为1-14天。目前，针对新冠肺炎尚无可用疫苗。

 

世界卫生组织1月12日将此种新病毒暂命名为“2019-nCoV”，并于2月11日将新冠肺炎正式命名为“COVID-19”，其中"CO"代表Corona（冠状），"VI"代表Virus（病毒），"D"代表Disease（疾病），"19"代表疾病发现的年份2019年。

 

Novel Coronavirus

 

The novel coronavirus, first discovered with a viral pneumonia case in 2019, is a new strain of coronavirus that had never been found in humans before. The coronaviruses already known can cause cold or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and other diseases of varying degrees. 

 

On February 8, 2020, China's National Health Commission temporarily named the pneumonia infected by the novel coronavirus as "novel coronavirus pneumonia" in Chinese. The commission issued the Guidelines on the Novel Coronavirus-Infected Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment (Provisional 6th Edition) on February 19, pointing out that respiratory droplets and close unprotected contacts are the main routes of transmission, and that transmission through aerosols is possible in the case of long-term exposure to high concentration aerosols in a relatively closed environment. The main signs and symptoms of the infected people include fever, dry cough and fatigue, and the incubation period varies from 1 to 14 days. Currently there is no vaccine available against the disease.

 

The WHO temporarily named the newvirus as “2019-nCoV” on January 12, and officially named the pneumonia infected by the virus “COVID-19” on February 11. “CO” stands for corona, “VI” for virus,“D” for disease, and “19” for the year 2019 in which the disease was first discovered.

人传人

 

自2019年12月31日“不明原因肺炎”由武汉卫生健康委公开披露以来，病毒是否人传人一直没有明确答案。2020年1月20日，新冠肺炎疫情科研攻关专家组组长、国家卫生健康委高级别专家组组长钟南山院士在接受采访时明确表示，此次新冠肺炎存在人传人的现象。这一科学判断让大众对于新冠肺炎疫情有了更深刻、更清晰的认知。自此，全国各地开始采取严格的防控措施。1月21日，世界卫生组织称，最新报告的感染信息表明，可能存在持续人传人。2月18日，钟南山院士在接受采访时提出，为有效阻止病毒人传人，迫切需要解决两个问题：一是正常人和病人分开，二是新冠肺炎病人和流感病人分开。

 

Human-to-Human Transmission

 

After the disclosure of “pneumonia caused by unknown reasons” by Wuhan Municipal Health Commission on December 31, 2019, there had been no clear answer to whether the virus could be transmitted from human to human until January 20, 2020. On that day Academician Zhong Nanshan, who heads China's COVID-19 Expert Team and the High-level Expert Groupof the NHC, made it clear in an interview that there was a phenomenon of human-to-human transmission for the novel coronavirus. This scientific judgment has given thepublic a deeper and clearer understanding of the disease. Since then, strict prevention and control measures have been enforced throughout the country.

 

On January 21, the WHO stated that the latest reported infection information suggested persistent human-to-human transmission. In an interview on February 18, Zhong Nanshan pointed out that to effectively stop human-to-human transmission of the virus, there must beseparation of healthy people from the infected, and separation of COVID-19 patients from flu patients.

国际关注的突发公共卫生事件

 

2020年1月30日，世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞在日内瓦召开新闻发布会，宣布新冠病毒疫情为国际关注的突发公共卫生事件。《国际卫生条例（2005）》规定，国际关注的突发公共卫生事件是指通过疾病的国际传播构成对其它国家的公共卫生风险并可能需要采取协调一致的国际应对措施的不同寻常的事件。在某种疫情被宣布为国际关注的突发公共卫生事件后，各成员国均负有作出迅速反应的法律责任。

 

谭德塞表示，为中国领导层和中国人民抗击疫情的决心感到震撼，中国采取了超常规的有力措施，在很多方面为应对疫情作出了榜样。他十分赞赏中国在应对疫情方面展现出的高透明度，强调世卫组织相信中国的疫情一定能够得到遏制，不赞成甚至反对对中国采取旅行或贸易禁令。

 

自《国际卫生条例（2005）》生效以来，世界卫生组织共宣布了六次国际关注的突发公共卫生事件：2009年甲型H1N1流感疫情，2014年埃博拉疫情，2014年野生型脊髓灰质炎疫情，2016年寨卡病毒疫情，2019年埃博拉疫情和2020年新冠肺炎疫情。

 

Public Health Emergency of International Concern

 

On January 30, 2020, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared in Geneva thenovel coronavirus outbreak a "public health emergency of international concern."

 

According to the Internationa lHealth Regulations (IHR) (2005), a public health emergency of international concern is an unusual event that poses public health risk to other countries through international spread of the disease and may require a coordinated international response. After an epidemic has been declared a public health emergency of international concern, member states of the WHO all have the legal responsibility to respond quickly.

 

Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that he was impressed by the mobilization of the Chinese leadership and the Chinese people to fight against the epidemic, noting that China has take nextraordinary measures to contain the outbreak and is actually setting a new standard for outbreak response. He highly appreciated China's commitment to transparency and to protecting the world's people, and stressed that the WHO believed that China's epidemic could be contained and doesn't recommend and actually opposes any restrictions for travel and trade or other measures against China.

 

Since the entry into force of the IHR (2005), the WHO has announced six public health emergencies of international concern: the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, the 2014 Ebola epidemic, the 2014 wild poliovirus epidemic, the 2016 Zika virus epidemic, the 2019 Ebolaepidemic, and the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic.

 

五、国际援助

国际社会积极合作与援助

 

习近平在2月23日召开的统筹推进新冠肺炎疫情防控和经济社会发展工作部署会议上强调，公共卫生安全是人类面临的共同挑战，需要各国携手应对。

 

新冠肺炎疫情发生后，习近平会见了世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞和来华访问的柬埔寨首相洪森、蒙古国总统巴特图勒嘎，以通电话的形式同法国、德国、沙特阿拉伯、美国、印度尼西亚、卡塔尔、马来西亚、英国、韩国、巴基斯坦、阿联酋、埃塞俄比亚、智利、古巴等十余个国家领导人密切沟通，赞赏外方支持援助，介绍中国防控情况，传递中国发展信心，并就加强国际合作、推动双边关系发展深入交流。

 

截至2月底，全球170多个国家领导人和40多个国际和地区组织负责人或致函致电，或发表声明，对中国表示慰问支持；联合国、上海合作组织、金砖国家、东盟、非盟、阿盟、拉共体、七十七国集团等重要国际组织专门发表声明，表达对中国抗疫行动的信心与支持；各国政要纷纷公开发声，为武汉加油、为中国加油；50多个国家和国际组织积极捐赠财物，提供实际帮助。国际社会给予了中国宝贵的精神支持和物质援助，汇聚起患难与共、携手抗疫的广泛共识，各国人民同中国人民的友情在共同抗击疫情中得到了升华。

 

在这一过程中，中国用实实在在的行动赢得了世界的普遍认同和赞誉，生动践行了构建人类命运共同体的庄严承诺，彰显了负责任大国形象，为全球公共卫生事业作出了重要贡献。国际社会普遍认为中国采取了坚决有力的防控措施，展现出的领导能力、应对能力、组织动员能力、贯彻执行能力令人赞叹，为世界各国抗击疫情树立了典范，为国际社会应对传染病危机、推进全球公共卫生治理积累了有益经验，提供了重要借鉴。在全面有力防控疫情的同时，中国还积极主动同世卫组织和国际社会开展合作、交流信息，特别是迅速分享部分毒株全基因组序列，研制成功快速检测试剂盒等举措，不仅是对中国人民生命安全和身体健康高度负责，也是对全球防控疫情的重大利好。联合国秘书长古特雷斯表示，中国为抗击新冠肺炎疫情并避免其蔓延付出了巨大牺牲，为全人类作出了贡献。国际权威专业期刊指出，中国为国际科学界加入抗疫战斗铺平了道路，为科研合作的全球动员奠定了基础。

 

要战胜关乎各国人民安危的疫病，团结合作是最有力的武器。面对疫情发展，提高重大传染性疾病全球治理水平，增强国际协调能力是当务之急。只有各国都担负起道义和责任，才能在全球范围夺取抗疫斗争的最终胜利。

 

Cooperation of and Aid from the International Community

 

At the meeting held on February 23 on coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, Xi Jinping noted that public health security is a common challenge to human beings as a whole, and all countries need to join hands to deal with it.

 

After the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, Xi Jinping has met with visiting WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, and Mongolian President Khaltmaa Battulga. He has also communicated on the phone with the leaders of France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United States, Indonesia, Qatar, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Korea, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Chile and Cuba.Xi expressed appreciation for their support and aid, introduced China's progress in virus combat and confidence in development, and exchanged views with these

leaders on promoting international cooperation and advancing bilateral ties.

 

By the end of February, more than 170 state leaders and over 40 heads of international and regional organizations had sent written or oral messages, or issued statements to express sympathy and support for China. International organizations including the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the BRICS, the ASEAN, the AU, the League of Arab States, the Latin American Community, and the Group of 77 have expressed their confidence and support for China's action against the virus. Many influential politicians around the world have publicly voiced encouragement and support to Wuhan and China, while more than 50 countries and international organizations have made donations and provided solid assistance to China.

 

The international community has given China valuable spiritual support and material assistance, building broad consensus on facing difficulties and fighting epidemic together. And the friendship between foreign people and the Chinese people has been significantly promoted in the battle against COVID-19.

 

During the process of fighting epidemic, China has won universal recognition and praise for its rapid and decisive actions. It has fulfilled its commitment of building a global community of shared future, demonstrated the image of are sponsible major country, and made significant contributions to the global public health. The international community widely recognizes China's determined and effective prevention and control measures and is impressed by its extraordinary abilities in leading and mobilizing the Chinese people to respond to the outbreak, which has set a good example for the global epidemic prevention. Its experience in dealing with infectious disease and advancing global governance on public health provides an important reference for the international community.     

 

While fighting the epidemic in an all-round way, China has actively and voluntarily cooperated with and shared information with the WHO and the international community, swiftly shared the genome sequence of some strains, and successfully developed rapid testing kits. These moves indicate that China not only shoulders responsibilities for the Chinese people's life and health, but also brings amajor benefit to global epidemic prevention and control. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that China has made great sacrifices to fight the epidemic and prevent the virus from spreading to others, and has made contributions to humanity. Some international authoritative professional journals point out that China has paved the way for the international scientific community to join the fight against epidemic and laid the foundation for global mobilization of scientific research cooperation.

 

To prevail over a disease that threatens all, unity and cooperation is the most powerful weapon. In the face of the epidemic, improving global governance on major infectious diseases and promoting international ordination is the high priority. Only when eachcountry assumes its morality and responsibility, can we finally win the victory of the global fight against the epidemic.

世界卫生组织大力支持和帮助

 

新冠肺炎疫情发生以来，世界卫生组织高度关注，不仅对中国疫情防控工作给予理解、支持和肯定，还积极同中国展开合作，全力帮助中国抗击疫情。

 

2020年1月28日，世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞访问中国，考察新冠肺炎疫情。2月10日，由加拿大流行病学专家和应急专家布鲁斯-艾尔沃德率领的世卫组织国际专家组首批成员抵达中国，与中国同行一起工作。2月16日，中国—世界卫生组织新型冠状病毒肺炎联合专家考察组正式开展工作，分别前往北京市、广东省、四川省和湖北省开展现场调研，了解疫情形势和救治情况，学习中国防控经验，开展技术交流，深化互信合作。2月24日，联合专家考察组在北京举行新闻发布会，外方组长布鲁斯-艾尔沃德指出，中国采取了前所未有的公共卫生应对措施，在阻断病毒人际传播、减缓疫情扩散蔓延方面取得明显效果，已经避免或推迟了至少数十万新冠肺炎病例。中国正在采取谨慎、分阶段、有序的方式，逐步恢复社会、经济、教育和医疗等各部门的正常秩序，其他国家应迅速重新评估对中国采取的措施。他表示，世界需要学习中国的经验，要认识到武汉人民所做出的贡献，世界亏欠他们，当这场疫情过去的时候，希望有机会能代表世界再一次感谢武汉人民。

 

针对疫情期间一些别有用心的假消息、污名化言行，世卫组织坚持以科学和事实为依据作出判断，努力沟通协调主流信息渠道，积极澄清真相，不断呼吁各方坚持真理、抵制谣言、保持信心、加强合作，确保民众得到权威信息。据世卫组织部分合作专家提供的数据模型显示，中国采取的控制人员流动等措施让中国境内的疫情传播速度延缓了两到三天，让中国境外的疫情传播速度延缓了两到三周。世卫组织积极评价并充分肯定中国抗击疫情的努力，总干事谭德塞表示，中方行动之快、规模之大，世所罕见；这是中国制度的优势，有关经验值得其他国家借鉴；中国所采取的大规模防控行动为世界争取了时间，让世界更加安全。此外，包括谭德塞、艾尔沃德在内的世卫组织官员和专家还多次表达了对中国医护人员的肯定、敬意和感谢。

 

Strong WHO Support and Assistance

 

Since the on set of the COVID-19 outbreak, the WHO has been highly concerned with the epidemic. It has not only given understanding, support and affirmation to China's prevention and control efforts, but also fully cooperated with China on the fight against the epidemic.

 

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus visited China on January 28 to investigate the COVID-19 epidemic. An advance team of WHO international expertsled by Canadian epidemiologist and emergency expert Dr. Bruce Aylward arrived in China on February 10 to work with their Chinese counterparts.

 

On February 16, the WHO-China Joint Mission on COVID-19 began to work by visiting Beijing and the provinces of Guangdong, Sichuan and Hubei respectively. After conducting filed investigation, asking about epidemic and treatment situation, and learning from Chinese experience in epidemic prevention and control, they carried out technical exchanges and deepened mutual trust and cooperation.

 

At the press conference the joint team held in Beijing on February 24, Dr. Bruce Aylward noted that China's unprecedented public health responses to the COVID-19 outbreak have yielded notable resultsin controlling human-to-human transmission of the virus, and "averted andprobably prevented at least tens of thousands even hundreds of thousands, of cases." China is taking prudent, phased and orderly steps to gradually restore order in social, economic, education and healthcare sectors, and other countries should swiftly reassess the measures taken toward China. He also said the world needs to learn from China's experience and recognize what the people of Wuhan have done to the world, and the world is in their debt. With the disease finishes, he said, he hopes he has the chance to thank the people of Wuhan on behalf of the world again.

 

In response to the fake news and stigmatization emerging amid the epidemic, the WHO has made judges based on science and evidence, tried to communicate with and coordinate mainstream information channels, actively clarified the actualsituations, constantly called for all parties to stick to the truth, boycottrumors, maintain confidence and strengthen cooperation, and ensured the public have access to authoritative information.

 

Statistics models provided by some WHO experts showed that China's measures on movement restriction have delayed the dissemination of the outbreak two or three days within China and two or three weeks outside China.

 

The WHO has spoken positively of and fully affirmed China's efforts to contain thenovel coronavirus. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the quickspeed and massive scale of China's response to coronavirus is rarely seen inthe world and shows the advantages of China's system. He called for othercountries to emulate China's experience. China's large-scale prevention andcontrol action has brought time for the world and made the world safer. Moreover, WHO officials and experts including Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and Bruce Aylward have expressed commendation, respect and appreciation to China's medical professionals on many occasions.

日本：山川异域，风月同天

 

国际社会对中国抗击新冠肺炎疫情给予了极大的理解和支持，日本作为一衣带水、守望相助的友好邻邦，第一时间以官民一体、文道合一的物资援助和舆论支持，为中国政府和人民带来了鼓励与温情。

 

1月29日，日本汉语教学考试机构HSK事务局在捐赠湖北的物资贴纸上，写下“山川异域，风月同天”的诗意留言，寓意中日两国虽然山川各异，然而却能同沐清风、共赏明月。日本前首相鸠山由纪夫在为武汉加油的视频中，也提到了这句话。诗意的留言拉近并温暖了两国民众的心，唤起了中日文化交流源远流长的美好记忆。“山川异域，风月同天”的作者是一千多年前日本政界的重量级人物长屋亲王。其执政时，日本频繁派出遣唐使来中国学习佛法与先进文化。长屋亲王命人制作千件绣着“山川异域，风月同天；寄诸佛子，共结来缘”偈语的袈裟，随遣唐使带给中国的高僧。鉴真大师为偈语所感动，不畏艰险前往日本弘扬佛法，为中日友好交流播下了种子。

 

“投我以木桃，报之以琼瑶”。2月中下旬，随着日本新冠肺炎确诊病例持续增加，中国无偿提供新冠病毒核酸检测试剂，进一步同日方分享信息经验，体现了两国命运与共、密切协作，维护地区和世界公共卫生安全的积极姿态。

 

Japan: Miles Apart, but Close at Heart.

 

The international community has given great understanding and support to China in its fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. Japan and China are neighbors that always offer mutual assistance in times of hardship. The Japanese government and the Japanese people took immediate action to provide aid materials and voice support, bringing encouragement and warmth to the Chinese government and the Chinese people.

 

"Miles apart, but close at heart." This was a two-line poem written in Chinese by the Japanese HSK Bureau on the boxes of supplies it donated to China in its fight against the novel coronavirus. As the poem describes, while mountains and rivers separate China and Japan, the two countries enjoy the same moonlight under the same sky. Also quoted by former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama in a video message sentto show his support to Wuhan, the poem has brought the people of the two countries closer, and has evoked a significant moment in the history of cultural exchanges between China and Japan.

 

The poem was composed by Prince Nagaya of Japan more than 1,000 years ago. During his reign, Japan often sent ambassadors to China to learn Buddhism and Chinese culture. The hymn was embroidered on 1,000 Buddhist robes that Prince Nagaya sent to the Chinese monks. Moved by the Prince's hymn, Jianzhen (688-763), the renowned Buddhist masterand traveler of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), decided to go on a voyage to Japan despite hardship, promoting friendly exchanges between the two countries.

 

As an old Chinese saying goes, "Youtoss me a peach, I give you a white jade in return." In mid-to-late February, as confirmed patients increased in Japan, China donated a batch of COVID-19 nucleic acid testing kits to Japan and strengthened information sharing. These benign interactions demonstrate that the two countries share an inextricably linked destiny and cooperate to protect regional and international public health security.

科摩罗：千里送鹅毛，礼轻情意重

 

在中国合力抗击新冠肺炎疫情之际，非洲岛国科摩罗的科中友好协会向中国捐助100欧元，用于支持中国人民的抗疫行动。在海外社交媒体平台上，中国驻科摩罗大使何彦军手拿两张50欧元面值的钞票，与科摩罗中国友好协会主席穆萨合影的照片，在短时间内引来大量点赞、转发。中国民众纷纷表示，“千里送鹅毛，礼轻情意重”。

 

科摩罗是个典型的农渔业国家，大量粮食和生活用品需要进口，普通工人日薪低于10元，45%人口处于极端贫困中，是联合国公认的世界最不发达国家之一。中国是第一个承认科摩罗独立并同其建交的国家。据了解，科摩罗的科中友好协会最初打算向中方赠送一箱口罩，但他们找遍了当地超市和药店也没有买到，所以决定募捐“100欧元”，以这一象征性的金额表达对中国人民防疫斗争的支持。根据2020年2月汇率换算，100欧元约合人民币760.41元，金额虽不大，但却相当于当地普通人1至2个月的收入。

 

“唯以心相交，方能成其久远”，科摩罗的善举收获中国社情民意的背后，是中国与非洲国家以自己的处事哲学和行为方式向世界展示的文明之“礼”。

 

Comoros:It Is the Kindness That Counts.

 

The Comoros-China Friendship Association of Comoros, which is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, donated 100 euros to support China’s efforts in dealing with the epidemic. The picture of He Yanjun, Chinese ambassad or to Comoros, holding two 50-euro notes beside Moussa, chairman of the association, received a lot of "likes" and "forward" onthe overseas social media. The Chinese people believe it is the kindness that counts.

 

As a country that bases its economyon agriculture and fishery, Comoros relies heavily on imports of grains and daily necessities. It is considered one of the least developed countries by the United Nations, as the ordinary workers in the country earn less than 10 yuan aday, and 45% of its population live in extreme poverty. China was the firstcountry to recognize the independence of Comoros and established diplomatic relations with the country.

 

The association originally intended to donate a box of facemasks, but did not get any in local supermarkets and pharmacies, so they decided to donate 100 euros instead, as a symbolic gesture to show their support to China in the fight against the epidemic. One hundredeuros was equivalent to 760.41 yuan at the exchange rate in February 2020. It was equivalent to the earnings of an ordinary worker in Comoros in two months.

 

As an old Chinese saying goes, "Only heart-to-heart exchanges can last long." Comoros' kindness has won the hearts of the Chinese people, as it demonstrates that both China and the African country have shown their politeness to the world through their philosophies of life and conduct.
