Local people in central China's Hubei Province and the capital city of Wuhan and all other assisting forces from across the country have fought hard together against COVID-19, and paved the way for an initial victory over the virus, following Chinese President Xi Jinping's call to fight the coronavirus forcefully in Hubei and Wuhan.
Locking down Wuhan, central China's core city, with over 11 million people, it seemed to be an extreme step. But the lockdown curbed virus transmissions and protected the city effectively.
On February 10, President Xi Jinping inspected prevention and control work in Beijing and spoke via video link to doctors in Wuhan. He emphasized that top priority must be given to Hubei and Wuhan, as they were the decisive battlegrounds and victory in Wuhan would ensure victory in Hubei, and ultimately victory across the country.
By that time, China's Central Guiding Team led by Vice Premier Sun Chunlan had worked in Wuhan for nearly two weeks.
"General Secretary Xi has talked about defending Wuhan. He stressed a defensive battle. Are we going to stand by and do nothing? Only by winning the battle defending Wuhan can we protect Hubei Province and further protect the country," said Sun.
Over 70,000 local medics in Wuhan remained at work as the epidemic broke out. They first fought the defensive battles. Despite an increasing number of infected patients, shortages of medical supplies, and the risks of infection, local medical professionals were nevertheless determined to save lives, and soon they had company.
To protect Wuhan, China rolled out its largest medical resource allocation operation to date. Assisting medical teams and public health personnel from across the country gathered in Hubei and Wuhan to help. Many provinces partnered with cities in Hubei for assistance.
"We are doing statistical analyses on all medical resources available in Wuhan, including those that have already been used and those that are ready-to-work. We will then be able to offer more medical supplies once there is an increase in demand," said Jiao Yahui, ombudsman with the National Health Commission.
Tens of thousands of construction workers and mechanical equipment were sent to Wuhan, where they built two new hospitals and 16 temporary ones.
To overcome shortages of medical supplies in Hubei and Wuhan, many enterprises across the country resumed operations to produce face masks, goggles, protective gear and other necessary medical supplies.
China's Ministry of Commerce also activated a material supplying mechanism involving nine provincial authorities to ensure production of good supplies for healthy living. That included over 900,000 tons of pork and vegetables, and more than 1.4 million tons of thermal coal and fuel.
"I thought we were fighting alone in Wuhan. But then I realized that we were not. The whole nation is supporting us," said Xie Jingjing, nurse with Wuhan Pu'ai Hospital.
Local people never stopped protecting Wuhan either. Residents in Wuhan were mobilized to help manage communities, the first line of defense against the spread of the virus. Strict access control and grid-based management were exercised in communities.
Some 580,000 community workers were working in around 3,000 urban and rural communities in Wuhan, taking body temperatures, screening for infections, and sanitizing neighborhoods.
"Some residents don't want us to drop in, in which case they can report their body temperature and conditions to us online," said Li Xiangxiang, community worker in Zhongxing community in Wuhan.
Many local residents volunteered on the frontlines. They stood guard in communities, screened for infections, carried out cleaning and disinfection work, and bought medicines and delivered groceries for other residents, especially those with pressing needs.
"I'm a local Wuhan resident. If I do not support my city, I will feel guilty. I hope that I can help relieve public anxiety. I have to contribute as much as I can," said Wan Bin, a volunteer in Wuhan.
On March 10, President Xi visited Wuhan to inspect work on epidemic control. He acknowledged that the situation in Hubei and Wuhan was improving. But he also pointed out that the task remained arduous.
He encouraged the people to persevere in their efforts and win the battles against the virus in Hubei and Wuhan.
As the epidemic improved, assisting medical teams started to withdraw from Hubei on March 17. The next day Wuhan reported zero new cases for the first time since the outbreak. Some major shopping malls in Wuhan reopened at the end of March. On April 8, Wuhan reopened its borders. And people went back to the streets. The city was gradually getting back on track.
"I saw so many people on the other side of the shopping street where there are lots of food stores. There were many people in a nearby shopping mall as well. I'm happy about it," said a local resident.
Wuhan was the main battleground against the virus. By making critical achievements in the city, China initially curbed the spread of COVID-19 on the mainland. The victory has been won over the virus in Wuhan and it was a major step forward in the nationwide virus control effort.
