Xi stressed unremitting efforts in the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus disease and coordination in advancing economic and social development.

Measures taken by China to control the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic have altered the curve of the outbreak for the better, the joint team of Chinese and WHO health officials said.

The moves also demonstrate the concept of putting the people's interests as the top priority.

More than 80 percent of key foreign enterprises in Shanghai, Shandong province and other regions have resumed work amid the pneumonia outbreak, Economic Daily reported.

Construction of China's Beidou Navigation Satellite System will be finished in May through the deployment of the last third-generation Beidou satellite, according to the China Satellite Navigation Office.

The construction of the Hunutlu Thermal Power Plant Project, China's biggest project with direct investment in Turkey, is underway despite the epidemic.

The deliveryman, Wu Hui, explained that what prompted him to stay in Wuhan after the city was hit by the severe outbreak was his sympathy for the frontline medical staff.
