The novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan has tested China’s state governance system and capacity. In the face of extreme challenges， Chinese President Xi Jinping has commanded and deployed the battle against the epidemic， and the whole country has been mobilized to take the most comprehensive and rigorous prevention and control measures. Medical teams from other provinces have been quickly organized and dispatched to Wuhan in succession； emergency hospitals were swiftly set up to ensure all patients can receive medical treatment； and researchers across the country have been organized to carry out R&D of drugs and vaccines.
　　The number of new suspected cases outside Wuhan has been decreasing since February 3. Then beginning on February 12， the risk level of all regions outside Hubei Province has continued to decline. Production lines in various industries have resumed operations in an orderly manner.
　　However， the work of containing the epidemic in Hubei still remains a daunting task. The Chinese government is endeavoring to improve its capability of epidemic prevention and control and the national public health emergency management system.
　　WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus commented that many of China’s measures are actually becoming new benchmarks for global epidemic outbreak response. Meanwhile， China’s anti-epidemic action has also received the solidarity and support of state leaders， international organizations， experts， and scholars across the world. Together， mankind will eventually overcome the epidemic.
