#nationalcongress #chinalive #covid19

The dynamic zero COVID-19 policy adopted by China in the past three years has proven effective and feasible.

The essence of China’s dynamic zero-COVID approach features swift and targeted response measures to prevent community spreading. Once an outbreak is detected, a range of measures are available to nip it in the bud.

Applying big data technology, an "epidemic map" is created to display the specific names and locations of the communities where cases have been reported and the number of infections that has been ascertained.

Mass nucleic acid testing are conducted in areas related to the cases. Response measures are timely modified and optimized to make them more effective. The COVID-19 prevention and control protocol has been updated 9 times based on assessments of the evolving epidemic dynamics. Fifteen technical manuals on epidemic prevention and control have been published for key population groups, locations and organizations.

In conducting nucleic acid tests, the first line of defense in epidemic containment, China can now finish mass tests in large cities with more than 10 million people within 24 hours. The country has also improved its targeted quarantine policies and can implement differentiated measures based on each region's risk level to best suit local conditions.

A "Great Wall of Immunity" has been built. Nearly 90 percent of the country's total population had been vaccinated. To stop the spread of the virus at the border, China has adopted differentiated measures from port to port, which include setting up buffer zones and conducting non-contact cargo delivery.
