The meeting requested that the national health system must resolutely implement the spirit of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and the decision-making and deployment of the Central Leadership Group for Epidemic Response, and do a good job in the next stage of epidemic prevention and control.

First, scientific and accurate domestic epidemic prevention and control work. Adopt differentiated prevention and control strategies for different regions of the country. Hubei Province has stepped up efforts to prevent and control the epidemic situation. On the premise of ensuring safety, the traffic control measures in areas other than Wuhan will be lifted, and the Li-Han-E Hub will continue to be strictly controlled. Wuhan must improve community prevention and control measures to achieve "five in place" for investigation, control, supervision, mission, and care. Beijing must make preventing the import of overseas epidemics the top priority of current prevention and control work to ensure the security and stability of the capital. All localities should strengthen the prevention and control of key populations, public places, and key units in accordance with the strategy of “foreign defense input, internal proliferation prevention, and zoning and classification”. Strengthen the implementation of technical guidance on prevention and control measures for enterprises and institutions to resume work and production, and resolutely prevent the occurrence of clustered cases.

The second is to strictly prevent the import of overseas epidemics. Strictly check the three borders of "foreign control", "port quarantine control" and "domestic control and control" of entry personnel, and improve the control measures from "national gate" to "home gate". Strengthen the prevention and control work in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Gansu and other key provinces and port cities, and promote the entry of overseas personnel into the "epidemic prevention health code". Improve the accuracy of community prevention and control, and implement the discovery, prevention, and emergency response of overseas personnel.

The third is to continue to do a good job of medical treatment in Hubei Province, especially Wuhan. Further strengthen the "Four Concentrations" principle, gradually concentrate the critically ill patients in the designated hospitals for treatment, attach importance to the treatment of mild patients, further improve the cure rate and reduce the mortality rate. Strengthen follow-up and health management of discharged patients.

The fourth is to strengthen the psychological counseling and spiritual comfort of key groups, and ensure the basic care services for the elderly, the disabled, and minors with special difficulties.

Fifth, speed up the restoration of normal medical service order. Organize the withdrawal of the medical team in Hubei in a stable and orderly manner, and implement various treatments such as commendation and incentives, subsidies, and vacations. Coordinate medical service resources to meet the needs of the people.

Sixth, continue to strengthen international cooperation in epidemic prevention and control. Through various methods, strengthen technical exchanges and cooperation and share China's experience in national defense control. According to the unified deployment of the central government, an expert team is dispatched to relevant countries and regions to support local epidemic prevention and control, and to do a good job of guiding the prevention and control of epidemic situations among Chinese citizens abroad. Make every effort to advance scientific research, promote close connection between clinical and scientific research, increase research and development of drugs and vaccines, and strive to achieve breakthrough results as soon as possible.

Seventh is to speed up the repair of shortcomings, adhere to the problem orientation, study and improve the major epidemic prevention and control systems and mechanisms, and improve the national public health emergency management system.
