Abstract

In the past decade, China has experienced two outbreaks of large-scale transmission of respiratory diseases caused by coronaviruses, namely SARS at the end of 2002 and COVID-19 at the end of 2019. This paper conducts a comparative analysis based on the data collected from WHO coronavirus database, NCHS of CDC, and articles on National Center for Biotechnology Center to review and summarise China's anti-epidemic measures during SARS and COVID-19. The significance of comparing the responses to the two outbreaks is to study the development of epidemiology in China over the past ten years and the establishment and improvement of the response mechanism to major public health events. Through a review of a large number of literature, it can be seen that the emergence of SARS exposed the weaknesses of China's public health system, but it was also an opportunity for the development of a health crisis management system. After only more than ten years of system improvement, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, China has stepped up to a new level in terms of response speed, decisiveness in decision-making, and intensity of policy implementation.
