针对输入性疫情，严格落实国境卫生检疫措施，强化从“国门”到“家门”的全链条、闭环式管理，持续抓紧抓实抓细外防输入、内防反弹工作。

To control any inbound infections from overseas, China has strictly enforced its border health and quarantine rules to ensure a full, closed cycle of management of all arrivals, from their entry at the border to the doorstep of where they would stay. Sustained, meticulous efforts have been made to prevent both inbound cases and a recurrence in domestic cases.

严格执行传染病防治法及其实施办法等法律法规，出台依法防控疫情、依法惩治违法犯罪、保障人民生命健康安全的意见，加强治安管理、市场监管，依法惩处哄抬物价、囤积居奇、制假售假等破坏疫情防控的违法犯罪行为，强化防疫物资质量和价格监管，加大打击虚假违法广告力度，保障社会稳定有序。加强疫情防控期间行政执法监督，严格规范执法，公正文明执法，依法化解与疫情相关的法律纠纷，为疫情防控和企业复工复产提供法律保障和服务。加强普法宣传，引导公众依法行事。

The Law on Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases and measures for its implementation have been strictly enforced, and guidelines have been promulgated on controlling the disease, combating epidemic-related crimes in accordance with the law, and protecting people’s lives and health. Law and order, and market supervision have been strengthened. Price gouging, hoarding and profiteering, production and sales of counterfeit or sub-standard products, and any other crimes impeding response efforts have been punished by law. Quality and price control of anti-epidemic supplies has been reinforced, and stronger measures have been taken against deceptive and illegal advertising, ensuring social order and stability. Supervision on administrative law enforcement has been intensified during epidemic control to ensure that the law is enforced in a strict, impartial, procedure-based, and non-abusive way. Legal disputes associated with the epidemic have been resolved in accordance with the law, and legal guarantees and services have been provided for Covid-19 response and for businesses returning to work. The government has also made greater efforts to raise public legal awareness and guide people to act within the parameters of the law.

注重发挥病毒学、流行病学、临床医学等领域专家作用，及时开展疫情形势分析研判，提出防控策略建议，充分尊重专家意见，增强疫情防控的科学性专业性。

China values the role of experts in virology, epidemiology, clinical medicine and related fields. China’s response has been professional because its response measures were based on timely analyses and assessments by scientists and public health experts, whose views and proposals were fully respected.

随着对病毒认识的不断深化，及时调整和优化工作措施，不断提升防控水平。根据疫情形势变化和评估结果，先后制修订6版新冠肺炎防控方案，科学规范开展病例监测、流行病学调查、可疑暴露者和密切接触者管理以及实验室检测等工作。针对重点人群、重点场所、重点单位发布15项防控技术方案、6项心理疏导工作方案，并细化形成50项防控技术指南，进一步提高疫情防控的科学性精准性。

With a growing body of knowledge of the virus, China has modified and optimized its response measures in a timely manner to make them more effective. It has developed a Covid-19 prevention and control protocol and updated it five times based on assessments of the evolving epidemic dynamics. The protocol provides a set of reliable standards for case monitoring, epidemiological investigation, management of close contacts and of those suspected of exposure to infection, and procedure-based tests in laboratories. China has also published 15 technical manuals on epidemic prevention and control for key population groups, locations and organizations, 6 work plans on psychological counseling for people affected by Covid-19, and 50 specific technical guidelines. All of this has ensured that China’s prevention and control efforts are more targeted and science-based.

医疗救治始终以提高收治率和治愈率、降低感染率和病亡率的“两提高”“两降低”为目标，坚持集中患者、集中专家、集中资源、集中救治“四集中”原则，坚持中西医结合，实施分类救治、分级管理。对重症患者，调集最优秀的医生、最先进的设备、最急需的资源，不惜一切代价进行救治，大幅度降低病亡率；对轻症患者及早干预，尽可能在初期得以治愈，大幅度降低转重率。

From the outset, China’s goal in its medical response to Covid-19 has been to improve the patient admission and cure rates and reduce the infection and fatality rates. The infected were treated in dedicated medical facilities where medical specialists from all over the country and all the necessary medical resources were concentrated. Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine were applied. A condition-specific and category-based approach was applied to medical treatment of patients. Severe cases were treated by the best doctors using the most advanced equipment, and critical supplies were pooled to save lives at all costs. It is through such efforts that the Covid-19 fatality rate in China has dropped sharply. Early medical intervention has made it possible to have patients with mild symptoms cured without delay, thus significantly reducing the risk that their condition might worsen.
