摘要
After three years of great effort,we are now facing a new challenge from the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic in China.From strict lockdown in Wuhan City(1–2),Hubei Province,to dynamic zero-COVID and subsequent precision prevention and control,the control strategies have been a good example with great achievements for preparedness and emergency response in modern settings of public health.While there are always arguments,it is clear that life-saving and time-winning processes have made essential materials available for the new challenge,with more vaccines and inhibitors/drugs available for use by now.In the past,discussions about a strategy switch raised concerns about China’s response capacity and even led to rumors or mis/disinformation,which challenged the resilience and tolerance of society.China was able to explore the zero-COVID strategy because it has a strong community-level public health service(3)and the capacity to ensure the execution of the strategy.We have been working hard to tackle both the COVID-19 pandemic and the mis/disinformation epidemic,which was referred to as an“infodemic”as early as in 2002(4).
