Extended data

The normal teaching progress of many universities in Chinese mainland has been disrupted, and primary and secondary schools in many provinces and cities across the country have been completely suspended. In order to adapt to the special period, many areas have changed the previous examination execution order, resulting in a serious phenomenon of "getting together", which has led to a sharp increase in the number of repeat students.

At the peak of SARS, party and government organs at all levels in China showed amazing mobilization and went deep into rural grassroots communities.

After the SARS epidemic ended, the central government announced a substantial increase in health and epidemic prevention funds and the construction of disease prevention and control centers at all levels throughout the country, especially in rural areas. Wen Jiabao, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of China and Premier of the State Council, visited Guangdong, where the epidemic was the worst, and attached great importance to the advice of Academician Zhong Nanshan, a local epidemic prevention expert.
