Mankind's most powerful weapon against disease is science and technology. The Central Steering Group attaches great importance to scientific research on the prevention and control of new coronary pneumonia. Since arriving in Wuhan, Hubei on January 27, it has held 3 special conferences to study and deploy related work, held several meetings with experts and scholars, front-line scientific research and disease control personnel, and went to The front group of experts in military medicine and Huazhong University of Science and Technology will conduct on-the-spot investigations of scientific research.
In accordance with the unified deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, relevant national ministries and commissions have set up scientific research groups. The vast number of scientific researchers have raced against time to organize the virus traceability, transmission mechanism, detection technology, patient treatment, and vaccine research and development, and have made positive progress. "At the current stage of scientific research, it is also the time of the most strenuous efforts. We must work harder." Sun Chunlan hopes that the majority of scientific researchers will win the confidence and insist on maintaining the safety and health of the people. First, earnestly enhance the sense of responsibility and mission, highlight the prevention and control and rescue orientation, closely integrate scientific research with clinical and prevention and control practices, strengthen organizational safeguards and supervise guidance, and use scientific weapons to overcome the epidemic.

In the current treatment work, Chinese medicine has been deeply involved and achieved good clinical results. Sun Chunlan said that we must adhere to the integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine, and give full play to the characteristics and team spirit of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine should learn from Western medicine inspections, pharmacological analysis and other methods. Through scientific analysis of the data, speed up the screening of effective treatment methods and drugs, focus on launching a batch of Chinese patent medicines with good clinical effects, and research and establish the "full coverage" and "The whole process" of clinical medication and quality assurance system.
Vaccine R & D is crucial for epidemic prevention and control. Sun Chunlan emphasized the need to put safety first, minimize the time for clinical research and trials, speed up the effectiveness, safety verification and production of vaccines, and strive to be put into use as soon as possible. It is necessary to strengthen overall guidance, select a number of advantageous units to carry out collaborative research, and achieve key breakthroughs in some core technologies and common issues at an early date. It is necessary to accelerate the development of detection products with higher sensitivity, greater credibility, and more convenient operation, expand the scope of animal search and verification, and deepen the research on viral vectors and methods to meet the needs of epidemic prevention and control.
Public health security is a common challenge faced by human beings, and all countries need to work together to address it. At present, 27 teams in 12 countries including the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom are also conducting research and development of new crown virus vaccines. The scientific community in all countries hopes to strengthen communication and cooperation with China. Sun Chunlan said that we must rely on the cooperation mechanism under which we participate and the relevant intergovernmental international cooperation organizations to carry out our work. Incorporate new crown pneumonia virus research into major scientific research projects and major projects in infectious diseases, and further leverage our scientific research advantages in this field.
