Reinforcing Scientific R&D Against COVID-19
The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee at its meeting on February 3 underscored the support of science and technology for defeating the epidemic, and urged reinforcing scientific research in this regard. The meeting highlighted the need to find the origin of the virus, identify the infection source and transmission route as soon as possible, closely track the variation of the virus, and develop prevention and control strategies and measures without delay.
Universities, scientific research institutes and enterprises shall be mobilized, and researchers across the country be organized to join anti-virus research. It is also necessary to promote the sharing of relevant data and medical records, speed up research on the traceability, transmission and transmission mechanism of the virus, and make timely improvements to prevention and control strategies and measures. More efforts are needed to strengthen the development of effective drugs and vaccines, and interaction between scientific research, clinical trials and prevention control practices. Experts and scholars should take on more responsibilities, and come up with more professional proposals and solutions based on scientific research.
Science has a direct bearing on the health and safety of the people, and scientists play a key role in the campaign against the virus. From decoding the coronavirus to vaccine development, from identifying the infection source to cutting off the transmission route, all work must be conducted following scientific methodologies, so as to provide a strong force to win the war against COVID-19.
加大科研攻關力度
中共中央政治局常委會2020年2月3日召開會議強調，要加大科研攻關力度，戰勝疫病離不開科技支撐。會議指出，要科學論證病毒來源，盡快查明傳染源和傳播途徑，密切跟蹤病毒變異情況，及時研究防控策略和措施。要調動高校、科研院所、企業等各方面積極性，組織動員全國科研工作者參與疫情防控方面的科研攻關，推動相關數據和病例資料的開放共享，加快病毒溯源、傳播力、傳播機理等研究，及時完善防控策略和措施。要加強有效藥品和疫苗研發，注重科研攻關與臨床、防控實踐相結合。要鼓勵專家學者增強擔當精神、職業責任，在科學研究的前提下多拿出專業意見和建議。
加大科研攻關，直接關系人民身體健康和生命安全。打贏疫情防控攻堅戰，加大科研攻關是重要制高點。從解碼病毒到疫苗研發，從查明傳染源頭到切斷傳播途徑，所有工作的開展，都需要秉承科學論證的“方法論”。疫情防控是總體戰，加大科研攻關，就是為戰勝疫病注入關鍵性力量。
