General Secretary Xi chaired and addressed the meeting.He said that when the novel coronavirus struck, catching the country unawares, the CPC Central Committee gave its full attention to the matter.

It took the country over a month to achieve initial success in curbing the spread of the virus, about two months to bring the daily figure of new domestic cases on the mainland down to single digits, and three months to win a decisive victory in defending Wuhan City and Hubei Province.
