加大科研攻关力度
中共中央政治局常委会2020年2月3日召开会议强调，要加大科研攻关力度，战胜疫病离不开科技支撑。会议指出，要科学论证病毒来源，尽快查明传染源和传播途径，密切跟踪病毒变异情况，及时研究防控策略和措施。要调动高校、科研院所、企业等各方面积极性，组织动员全国科研工作者参与疫情防控方面的科研攻关，推动相关数据和病例资料的开放共享，加快病毒溯源、传播力、传播机理等研究，及时完善防控策略和措施。要加强有效药品和疫苗研发，注重科研攻关与临床、防控实践相结合。要鼓励专家学者增强担当精神、职业责任，在科学研究的前提下多拿出专业意见和建议。
加大科研攻关，直接关系人民身体健康和生命安全。打赢疫情防控攻坚战，加大科研攻关是重要制高点。从解码病毒到疫苗研发，从查明传染源头到切断传播途径，所有工作的开展，都需要秉承科学论证的“方法论”。疫情防控是总体战，加大科研攻关，就是为战胜疫病注入关键性力量。
Reinforcing Scientific R&D Against COVID-19
The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee at its meeting on February 3 underscored the support of science and technology for defeating the epidemic, and urged reinforcing scientific research in this regard. The meeting highlighted the need to find the origin of the virus, identify the infection source and transmission route as soon as possible, closely track the variation of the virus, and develop prevention and control strategies and measures without delay.
Universities, scientific research institutes and enterprises shall be mobilized, and researchers across the country be organized to join anti-virus research. It is also necessary to promote the sharing of relevant data and medical records, speed up research on the traceability, transmission and transmission mechanism of the virus, and make timely improvements to prevention and control strategies and measures. More efforts are needed to strengthen the development of effective drugs and vaccines, and interaction between scientific research, clinical trials and prevention control practices. Experts and scholars should take on more responsibilities, and come up with more professional proposals and solutions based on scientific research.
Science has a direct bearing on the health and safety of the people, and scientists play a key role in the campaign against the virus. From decoding the coronavirus to vaccine development, from identifying the infection source to cutting off the transmission route, all work must be conducted following scientific methodologies, so as to provide a strong force to win the war against COVID-19.
