Xi warned of the complexity and severity of the epidemic situations both at home and abroad.

-- The tasks of medical treatment, community prevention and control and follow-up work remain arduous in Hubei Province and its capital city of Wuhan.

-- The risk of outbreak rebounding still exists in other regions due to increasing personnel mobility and crowd gathering.

-- Risks of imported cases are mounting as the COVID-19 rapidly spread across the world.

-- We should never allow the hard-won and continuous positive trend to be reversed.

On international cooperation, Xi said,

-- There should be closer cooperation with the World Health Organization to strengthen the analysis and prediction of the changes in the global epidemic situation, and improvement in strategies and policies to cope with imported risks.

-- There must be strengthened exchanges and cooperation with other countries in epidemic response and pledged continuous assistance to the best of China's ability.

-- There should be more guidance and support to Chinese nationals overseas to protect their lives and health.
