Generally speaking, the first-level response is organized and implemented by the State Council, and the provincial people's governments organize and coordinate the emergency response work in the province under the unified leadership and command of the State Council. The downgrading of the emergency response level indicates that the scope, nature and degree of harm of the epidemic have decreased, and the organization and implementation department responding to the epidemic has also been lowered accordingly. Adjusted to the second-level response, the provincial people's government will lead and direct the emergency response within the administrative area; Adjusted to the third-level response, the municipal people's government will lead and direct the emergency response within the administrative area; Adjusted to the fourth level In response, the county-level people's government leads and directs emergency response work within its administrative area. The people's government at a higher level may give guidance and support to the people's government at a lower level according to the actual situation.
