China News Service, Beijing, May 10. Since March this year, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has become the focus of public attention.

At present, the epidemic prevention and control work is in the strenuous stage of "going against the current, not advancing or retreating".

  At the same time, we should also see that in the face of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China has formed a set of scientific and effective prevention and control measures.

  Adhere to external defense imports, internal defense rebound, and dynamic clearing. From the perspective of the overall population level, the number of new crown deaths and hospitalizations in China is far lower than the global average.

  Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, China has continuously adjusted its prevention and control measures according to the circumstances, and major strategic achievements have been made in epidemic prevention and control.

  We won the battle to defend Wuhan, effectively guaranteed the life safety and health of the people, and took the lead in restoring the order of production and life.

  On this basis, China will become the only country in the world's major economies to achieve positive economic growth in 2020, and China's GDP growth will reach 8.1% in 2021.

  At the same time, China is also actively fulfilling its responsibilities as a major country. It has provided more than 2.1 billion doses of vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations, and continues to contribute to the global fight against the epidemic.

  Achievements are not easy to come by and are inseparable from everyone's hard work.

These practices also prove that our prevention and control measures are scientific and effective.

  Liang Wannian, head of the expert group of the National Health Commission's Leading Group for Epidemic Response and Disposal, roughly divided my country's new crown epidemic prevention and control since 2020 into four stages.

  Along the way, we have gone through the initial stage of emergency containment of sudden epidemics, to the exploration stage of normalized epidemic prevention and control, and then to the "dynamic clearing" stage of the whole chain of prevention and control.

  Liang Wannian believes that since March this year, we are entering the stage of "scientific precision, dynamic clearing" of all-round comprehensive prevention and control.

  Since March, after the whole country has worked together and fought side by side, we have withstood the most severe test of prevention and control since the Wuhan defense war, and achieved phased results.

  On March 20, Shenzhen basically achieved a dynamic social zero; on April 14, Jilin Province achieved a social zero; the epidemic situation in Hebei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Guangdong and other provinces was generally under control.

  Since May, the national epidemic prevention and control situation has generally stabilized, and the number of newly confirmed local cases and asymptomatic infections in Japan has continued to decline.

  At the press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Shanghai held on May 1, Gu Honghui, deputy secretary-general of the Shanghai Municipal Government and director of the Office of the Municipal Leading Group for Epidemic Prevention and Control, said that in the past month, concerted assistance and all With the joint efforts of citizens, Shanghai's current round of epidemic prevention and control has achieved phased results.

At present, the epidemic situation in Shanghai is stable and improving, and the effect of clearing the problem is becoming more and more obvious. Six districts have basically cleared the social aspect.

  But it is not yet the time to "relieve and rest", and the epidemic prevention and control in some areas is still in a stalemate.

  Persistence is victory, perseverance is sure to win.

With these scientific and effective prevention and control measures, we should strengthen our confidence, maintain high fighting spirit, strictly implement epidemic prevention policies, and resolutely win the battle against epidemic prevention and control.
