Question:

Currently, what are the main challenges in controlling the epidemic in China?

Tang: Our current policy is to dynamically clear outbreaks. There are two major challenges: preventing imported infections and clearing outbreaks. The successful clearance of the 60-odd imported outbreaks since March 2020 have provided valuable experience. We are now confident that dynamic clearance can be successfully sustained. The major challenges are how we can make our prevention and control activities more precise and efficient so that we can reduce disturbances of people's living and economic development to a minimum.
