CHINA-HEALTH: POLITBURO MEMBER SUN CHUNLAN VISITS NANJING IN JIANGSU PROVINCE TO INVESTIGATE COVID OUTBREAK

Xinhua (August 1) reported that Politburo Member and State Council Vice Premier Sun Chunlan travelled to Nanjing, Jiangsu to investigate epidemic prevention work amid the city’s COVID-19 outbreak. While in Nanjing, Sun Chunlan listened to the reports of frontline workers and experts, seeking to understand the situation from on the ground with regard to traceability, screening, hospital procedures, diagnosis, containing community spread, and other relevant information. She emphasized that it was necessary to “thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions at the Central Committee Politburo Meeting according to the deployments of the Central Committee and the State Council, thoroughly search for loopholes, target the crux of the issue, implement the requirements of the ‘four earlies’ (四早/early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment), consolidate the ‘four responsibilities’ (四方责任/local, department, danwei, and personal responsibilities),” and contain the spread of the virus. Noting that the current outbreak began at the Nanjing Airport, Sun Chunlan proposed a number of targeted measures to prevent further spread from that site. Turning to the state of the epidemic nationally, she said that preventing the virus from entering China from foreign countries was of paramount importance in managing the epidemic situation.
