The number of new suspected cases outside Wuhan has been decreasing since February 3. Then beginning on February 12, the risk level of all regions outside Hubei Province has continued to decline. Production lines in various industries have resumed operations in an orderly manner.
However, the work of containing the epidemic in Hubei still remains a daunting task. The Chinese government is endeavoring to improve its capability of epidemic prevention and control and the national public health emergency management system.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus commented that many of China’s measures are actually becoming new benchmarks for global epidemic outbreak response. Meanwhile, China’s anti-epidemic action has also received the solidarity and support of state leaders, international organizations, experts, and scholars across the world. Together, mankind will eventually overcome the epidemic.
