Nanjing always put people's health and security as our priority since the outbreak of COVID-19. We have made effective actions to prevent the inflow from outside and spread within the city. Currently the situation is turning better, that by Feb 26th 2020, Nanjing has achieved a zero-increase of confirmed or suspicious cases in 8 days. Jiangsu Province has reduced the 1st level response to 2nd level. However, some countries appeared to have new trend of the COVID-19, and it is a key period of fighting against the disease. These prove again that the virus is a common enemy of all human kinds, and it is the responsibility of every country to fight against the COVID-19.

Prevention and control of COVID-19 has no boundaries. Here, we hope that you and we could cooperate together, to guard the security of our city, the health of every resident, and an assured safe environment for your work and living:
