After the epidemic broke out in China at the end of Dec. 2019, the NHC immediately sent an expert team to Wuhan, the center of the outbreak, for a deep investigation(調查). On Jan. 8, the novel coronavirus was first identified(確認) as the cause of the epidemic. Three days later, China established a daily reporting system, updating the public every day. Both the central and local-level governments held daily news conference, giving detailed numbers of new cases, deaths, patients in serious condition and recoveries.

At the same time, China has been sharing relevant information with the whole world in a transparent and responsible manner. Soon after China worked out the genome sequence(基因序列) of the new virus, it gave the results to the WHO(世衛(wèi)組織) so that other countries could use it to carry out research and develop medicine. China also provided WHO with a detailed paper about more than 44,000 confirmed cases, which offers “a better understanding about the age range of people affected, the severity(嚴重性) of the disease and the death rate,” said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Meanwhile, efforts and support from around the world are also being welcomed to fight the disease. At the moment, a WHO team is working in China to find more methods to better treat and prevent the disease.

“China has set a new standard for other countries to prevent and control the epidemic, while no other country has the scale(規(guī)模), speed, transparency and openness comparable(比得上的) to China,” said Margaret Chan, former director-genera of WHO.
