From when the main instances of COVID-19 were recognized in Wuhan City, China, in December 2019, WHO has been at the front line of the nation’s control endeavors. The WHO Country Office in China, upheld by the Regional Office for the Western Pacific and worldwide central command, has furnished the Government of China with specialized guidance on identification, testing, disengagement and isolated measures to help a fast reaction to contain the flare-up.
As China rises up out of the control period of the episode following 2 months and moves into the moderation stage, its experience is helping nations as of now toward the beginning of the COVID-19 cycle to design their reactions better.
In a meeting with WHO/Europe, the WHO Representative to China, Dr Gauden Galea, talked about the following period of China’s reaction to the pandemic and what exercises different nations should draw from its experience. These are selections from the meeting.
China has gone from being the focal point of the COVID-19 pandemic to now speaking to not exactly a fourth of worldwide cases, and we presently have as a lot to gain from the remainder of the worldwide network as to offer from our involvement with China.
At its top in February, China was detailing 3800 new instances of COVID-19 of every solitary day. The way that the quantity of new cases keeps on diminishing as time passes shows
That the exceptional exertion made by the Chinese populace to confine transmission of COVID-19 – through social separating, isolate, and cautious hand and respiratory cleanliness – has had any kind of effect.
China’s first period of general wellbeing reaction to COVID-19 concentrated on transient measures to prevent the infection spreading from Hubei to the remainder of the nation, and inside everybody. School terminations, transport bans and working environment shutdowns assisted with restricting transmission of COVID-19.
As these impermanent control measures are step by step lifted, the following period of general wellbeing reaction is centered around alleviating the danger of COVID-19 over everybody over the long haul. This implies discovering approaches to incorporate contamination avoidance and control as a normal piece of day by day life for everybody over all settings.
China amassed critical involvement with COVID-19. One region that China has been exceptionally compelling in has been executing a separated, area explicit reaction to constraining transmission, so general well being measures are customized to the contrasting real factors on the ground. Measures in Wuhan, for instance, were totally different than those actualized in different places, for example, Shanghai or Chengdu.
How is WHO supporting the Government of China?

WHO works intimately with Chinese specialists and different accomplices to all the more likely comprehend the infection and guarantee all players cooperate in coordinated effort.
WHO additionally assumes a basic job in giving guidance to people in general about how they can ensure themselves as well as other people – for instance, clarifying how hand and respiratory cleanliness and social removing limit transmission. WHO’s Chinese-language internet based life channels routinely arrive at a huge number of individuals; our aggregate United Nations Country Team outreach during the flare-up has contacted 1 billion individuals, and we’ve had the option to report – through surveying – that practices have changed, especially with an expansion in day by day practices of handwashing, respiratory cleanliness, social separating, etc.
After the underlying danger correspondences about the infection and individual defensive measures, a portion of our later battles have been centered around forestalling a resurgence, with points like securely coming back to work and school; urging individuals to focus on their psychological wellness following 2 months of self-separation; helping individuals to remember the significance of solid weight control plans and propensities, as not smoking, etc.”
