[Commentary] On April 11, Beijing time, a group of 10 people from the Chinese government's expert group on anti-epidemic medicine went to Harbin, Heilongjiang, to Moscow to assist in the prevention and control of the epidemic. How are they working when they arrive? What is the current situation of the prevention and control of the epidemic in Russia? On April 16, a reporter from China News Agency and the expert group member Xing Zhifeng conducted a video interview.
[Commentary] Xing Zhifeng pointed out that the epidemic situation in Russia is in a stage of rapid rise. At present, it is an urgent task to quickly detect, treat and manage cases.

We introduced the most prominent "four early" and "four concentrated" strategies and measures of China to Russia. China itself summed up the "four early" strategies and "four concentrated" measures during the anti-epidemic period, which is a relatively core thing for China's experience in anti-epidemic.
[Commentary] Xing Zhifeng told reporters that the Russian side is also very interested in China's anti-epidemic technical solutions and medicines. The Russian media also specifically asked about the anti-epidemic effect of traditional Chinese medicine when interviewing the Chinese expert group. The Chinese expert group also provided the Chinese side to the Russian side without reservation.

What they ask more is, what kind of medicine is good? Specially asked if the Chinese medicine is good or not. I told them this: In fact, in our entire anti-epidemic process, according to statistics, 90% of cases applied the method of integrated Chinese and Western medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine has played an important role in the entire anti-epidemic process. At present, the anti-epidemic prescription developed by our province of Heilongjiang has been put in a USB flash drive and given to Russia.
[Commentary] Xing Zhifeng introduced that Russia has adopted many similar anti-epidemic measures to China, such as building shelters and designated hospitals to treat critically ill patients and using PCR to detect viruses. At the same time, there are some different measures.

They belong to home management for asymptomatic patients and mild patients. Home management adopts unified remote diagnosis and treatment, and has a management call and monitoring with them every day.
[Explanation] In the past five days, in addition to exchanging anti-epidemic experience with the local area, introducing China's practices and measures, visiting local hospitals, etc., the main work of the expert group also paid attention to the situation of overseas Chinese and overseas students in Russia, and provided help to them.

When our expert group knew that there was an international student as a close contact, because the foreigner he was sleeping with had already been diagnosed as a case, he was a close contact. The expert group and embassy were very anxious, and organized experts to immediately follow him on video therapy guidance and psychological counseling. I think we can do something for our countrymen, and we also feel very comfortable.
