《抗击新冠肺炎疫情的中国行动》白皮书（双语全文）(34)

（5）2月24日，中国－世界卫生组织联合专家考察组在北京举行新闻发布会，认为中国在减缓疫情扩散蔓延、阻断病毒人际传播方面取得明显效果，已经避免或至少推迟了数十万人感染新冠肺炎。至2月24日，全国新增确诊病例数已连续5天在1000例以下，现有确诊病例数近一周以来呈现下降趋势，所有省份新增出院病例数均大于或等于新增确诊病例数。(5)February 24: The WHO-China Joint Mission on Covid-19 held a press conference in Beijing, during which team members agreed that China had achieved notable success in slowing the spread of the virus and blocking human-to-human transmission, at least delaying and possibly preventing hundreds of thousands of infections. “This approach, what we call an ‘all-of-government, all-of-society’ approach, very old-fashioned, too old in some ways, has probably, definitely reverted, and probably prevented at least tens of thousands, but probably hundreds of thousands of cases of Covid-19 in China”.By February 24, the daily number of new infections on the Chinese mainland had remained below 1,000 for five consecutive days, the number of existing confirmed cases had kept dropping for almost a week, and the daily figure for discharged patients was now equal to or had surpassed that of new infections in all provincial-level administrative units.
