ACCURATE MEASURES

The meeting demands,

-- Sound and accurate measures should be taken to contain and control the COVID-19 in key regions, and Hubei and Wuhan should proceed with the anti-virus battle with caution and win the war.

-- Intensified efforts to treat severe cases and reduce the fatality rate. Community-based epidemic control measures should be improved to increase activity space accessible to residents in neighborhoods with no infections.

-- Work resumption will gradually happen in Wuhan, while in the rest of Hubei control measures will be relaxed in an orderly manner.

-- Hubei should actively engage with other provincial-level regions to send workers back to their posts and people grounded in Hubei to their hometowns through point-to-point transportation.

-- Great importance should be attached to epidemic prevention and control in Beijing and other key regions.

On preventing the influx of infections, the meeting called for,

-- Strengthening data and information sharing as well as checks on individuals arriving from overseas.

-- The mechanism of coordinating virus prevention and control strategies with relevant countries must be improved, containment experience sharing be stepped up, and joint scientific research be promoted.
