During this 4th wave of outbreak, we will work out multiple solutions to develop the economy and contain the pandemic.”
At the meeting, the Politburo also requested that the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control, ministries and local authorities closely follow the actual developments of the pandemic, strengthen inspection and monitoring, and strictly handle violations.
