The party and government of China are now all out to check the spread of the infectious pneumonia by the virus and damage by it.

Important party and national measures are therefore being taken to combat the novel coronavirus infection.

Massive state budget is being diverted to the life, security and health of the people.

The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee recently sent 1 08 million RMB. Y special party fund to 31 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities and central relevant fields with an agreement with the leading officials of the central organ so that the fund can be used for supporting the disease control in various regions and fields.

The national A-class emergency control system is in force to check the route of transmission of the virus.

Scores of medical teams including the medical service squad of the Chinese People's Liberation Army have been dispatched to Wuhan City, Hubei Province and new hospitals were urgently built as part of the daily increasing prevention and treatment campaign.

A series of achievements were also made such as developing the technology for rapidly and accurately examining the virus infection amid active efforts to prevent disaster.

The active efforts exerted by the CPC and the government of China for the life, safety and health of the people will certainly bear fruits.
