The coronavirus epidemic which broke out in Wuhan City, China, in December 2019 is an international concern that requires global efforts to combat.

The measures put in place by the government of the People’s Republic of China in preventing a further spread of this epidemic are remarkable. Under the leadership of the central government and with dedicated efforts from local governments and the whole society, the nationwide emergency-management system has begun to take full effect.
