I am sure that we will overcome this epidemic!

First of all, let’s understand what is the new type of coronavirus pneumonia.

A new type of coronavirus in 2019, namely “2019 ncov”, was found due to viral pneumonia cases in Wuhan in 2019 and named by the World Health Organization on January 12, 2020.

Since December 2019, surveillance of influenza and related diseases has been continuously carried out in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. A number of cases of viral pneumonia have been found, all of which are diagnosed as viral pneumonia / pulmonary infection. There is a phenomenon of human to human transmission in the new pneumonia. The national health and Health Commission has decided to include pneumonia infected by new coronavirus into the class B management of legal infectious diseases, and to take preventive and control measures for class A infectious diseases. As of 21:00 on January 7, 2020, a new type of coronavirus has been detected in the laboratory. In January 20th, Xi Jinping made important instructions on the outbreak of pneumonia caused by a new coronavirus, emphasizing that the safety and health of the people should be put first and firmly curb the spread of the epidemic. On January 22, the CDC said the source of the new coronavirus was wild animals illegally sold in a seafood market in Wuhan.

In the end, how to prevent coronavirus infection? Beijing CDC suggested that we should strengthen personal protection, avoid contact with wild animals, and put an end to work and party with diseases. After traveling from Wuhan and other places, if respiratory tract infection symptoms such as fever and cough appear, the fever clinic of the hospital should be selected according to the condition, and the doctor should wear a mask to see a doctor, at the same time, the doctor should be informed of the contact history and travel history of similar patients or animals. The specific suggestions are as follows:

Especially when hands are contaminated by respiratory secretions, after touching public facilities, after caring for patients with fever, respiratory infection, vomiting and diarrhea, after visiting hospitals, after handling contaminated objects and after contacting animals, animal feed or animal feces.

WHO director general: China has taken extraordinary measures to prevent the export of cases, which we are grateful for.

Tan Desai, director general of the World Health Organization, praised that China’s rapid and large-scale action, which is rare in the world, is an advantage of China’s system, and relevant experience is worth learning from other countries.

At present, the prevention and control of pneumonia caused by new coronavirus is at a critical stage, and every progress affects the hearts of people all over the country and even the world. China’s decisive measures are indispensable to fight against the devil of the epidemic. At the same time, international cooperation is also needed to ensure global public health security.

In front of the epidemic, China’s measures were timely and forceful, winning wide recognition in the world. Closed city, isolated personnel, extended holidays, timely and accurate release of epidemic information, rapid construction of special hospitals The nationwide prevention and control system has effectively reduced the interpersonal transmission of the virus.

Overseas public opinion generally believes that China has taken “the most professional and scientific way” to deal with the epidemic, which not only effectively protects people’s health, but also makes the outside world confident that China will win the epidemic prevention and control war.

Tan Desai, director general of the World Health Organization, praised that China’s rapid and large-scale action, which is rare in the world, is an advantage of China’s system, and relevant experience is worth learning from other countries.

On the evening of the 29th, Tan Desai said at a press conference held in Geneva that the Chinese government has taken extraordinary measures to stop the export of cases, “for this reason, China deserves our gratitude and respect.”

On January 23, at the headquarters of the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, who director general Tan Desai (right) made a statement at a press conference.

He also praised China’s cooperation with who and other countries on the principle of unity and cooperation. For example, China found pathogens in a short time and immediately shared relevant information with who, which promoted the rapid development of virus diagnostic tools; China promised to publish outbreak information openly and transparently, and agreed to cooperate with other countries in need.

In the fight against the epidemic, China’s open, transparent and responsible attitude and measures have not only protected the Chinese people, but also the people of the world. China has used a record short time to identify pathogens, and has taken the initiative to share virus gene sequences with the world in a timely manner, providing crucial information for the international community to develop diagnostic methods and carry out cooperation to contain the epidemic.

China’s openness and transparency have been highly recognized by the international community. China’s speed, scale and efficiency have given the world “reassurance”. German health minister Jens Spang praised China’s timely and open sharing of information in the prevention and control of the epidemic, which helps countries better prepare for the fight against the epidemic.

In the era of globalization, the fate of all countries is closely linked. UN Secretary General Guterres said that at this critical moment, the UN stands firmly with the Chinese government and people and is willing to provide all possible support and help to China.

Leaders from the United States, Germany, France, South Korea, Iran and the United Kingdom have expressed their concerns and condolences and expressed their willingness to strengthen health cooperation with China. Many international institutions and organizations provide technical, material and financial assistance.

The international community has turned its attention to China’s epidemic, not only because China has always been an important participant and contributor in the global health cause, but also because the fight against the epidemic concerns every country. We believe that relying on the people, relying on institutional advantages, scientific prevention and control, and precise policy implementation, China is fully capable of winning this battle of prevention and control.

In fact,we have experience in dealing with SARS and we have also helped African friends to win the victory of Ebola virus. Our country has the ability of prevention and control, as well as the ability of drug research and development. President Xi presided over the prevention and control of the epidemic in person, and the functional departments of the government were responding actively. Meanwhile, the front-line medical staff represented by academician Zhong Nanshan were busy. I believe that there will be treatment and vaccine drugs soon, and everything will return to normal.

Come to Wuhan, come to China!
