在2020年2月3日召开的中共中央政治局常委会会议上，习近平指出，疫情防控要坚持全国一盘棋。
坚持全国一盘棋，首先要加强党中央集中统一领导。各级党委和政府必须坚决服从党中央统一指挥、统一协调、统一调度，做到令行禁止。各地区各部门必须增强大局意识和全局观念，坚决服从中央应对疫情工作领导小组及国务院联防联控机制的指挥，采取举措既考虑本地区本领域防控需要，也考虑对重点地区、对全国防控的影响。
疫情发生以来，在以习近平同志为核心的党中央统一领导、统一指挥下，各地区各部门各司其职、协调联动，紧急行动、全力奋战。全国各地调派医务人员，迅速集结、驰援武汉；建设者日夜奋战，迅速建成武汉火神山医院；军队高效投送疫情防控物资，抽调医护人员参加医疗救治；企业加班加点，最大限度生产疫情防控物资供全国统一调度。正如世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞所说，“中方行动速度之快、规模之大，世所罕见”。这充分证明，坚持全国一盘棋，调动各方面积极性，集中力量办大事，是中国打赢疫情防控阻击战的有力保证，彰显了中国国家制度和国家治理体系的显著优势。
At the meeting held on February 3, 2020 by the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Xi Jinping instructed that there should be a coordinated national response in epidemic prevention and control.
To ensure a coordinated national response, the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee must be strengthened. Party committees and governments at all levels must resolutely follow the unified command, coordination and deployment of the CPC Central Committee, and ensure strict enforcement of orders. All localities and government departments must think in big-picture terms and take a holistic perspective, and resolutely obey the command of the Central Leading Group for COVID-19 Prevention and Control and the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council. When devising epidemic control measures, they should take into account both the needs of their areas and sectors and the potential impacts on key regions and the whole nation.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, under the unified leadership and command of the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core, various localities and government departments have performed their duties, coordinated efforts, taken joint actions, and acted promptly with all their strength. A large number of medical workers from all over the country assembled and rushed to the rescue of Wuhan. By working non-stop shifts, thousands of builders raced against the clock and completed the Huoshenshan Hospital in 10 days. The PLA efficiently delivered anti-epidemic materials and dispatched medical personnel to join the rescue. The manufacturers operated at full capacity to maximize the production of materials for national unified distribution.
As WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom said, “The speed with which China detected the outbreak, isolated the virus, sequenced the genome, and shared it with WHO and the world are very impressive, and beyond words.”
All of these have fully proved that by ensuring a coordinated national response, China can arouse the enthusiasm of all parties and concentrate resources on major initiatives. This forms a strong guarantee for the country to win the war against the novel coronavirus, and also demonstrates great strengths of China’s state institutions and governance system.
疫情发生以来，湖北和武汉等地陆续收到来自国内外的大量捐赠。为了确保这些捐赠财物及时发挥应有作用，2020年2月5日，习近平在主持召开中央全面依法治国委员会第三次会议时指出，受赠财物必须全部及时用于疫情防控。这一要求，是党中央从立法、执法、司法、守法各环节发力，全面提高依法防控、依法治理能力，为疫情防控工作提供有力法治保障的具体体现。
相关法律规定是贯彻落实这一原则的遵循和依据。比如，按照法律规定，受赠人应当将接受捐赠财物的情况以及受赠财物的使用、管理情况，采取不同方式真实、完整、及时公开信息；对于接受的救助灾害的捐赠财产，应当及时用于救助活动；慈善组织应当积极开展慈善活动，充分、高效运用慈善财产。此外，法律还规定，受赠方要接受政府和社会的监督，在公益慈善活动中违反法律规定的，应当依法承担法律责任。
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Wuhan and other places in Hubei have received a large number of donations from around the world. At a meeting of the Commission for Comprehensive Law-based Governance of the CPC Central Committee on February 5, Xi Jinping pointed out that the donated property must all be used without delay for epidemic control to fulfill the wishes of the kind donors. This reflects the CPC Central Committee’s efforts in enhancing legislation, law enforcement, judicial justice, and observation of the law to provide a strong legal guarantee for epidemic prevention and control.
According to the Chinese law, the donee shall promptly make public the true information about all the donations received and the use and management of the donated property, and distribute the property for disaster relief without delay; and the charities shall use the donation to fund charity activities, fully and efficiently. The law also stipulates that the donee shall be subject to government and public scrutiny, and the law violators in charity activities shall be held accountable.
湖北和武汉是疫情防控的重中之重，是打赢疫情防控阻击战的决胜之地。2020年2月10日，习近平在视频连线武汉市重症患者收治医院时指出，武汉胜则湖北胜，湖北胜则全国胜。
疫情发生以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央始终牵挂湖北和武汉的抗疫工作。习近平两次主持召开中央政治局常委会会议，对疫情防控工作进行专题研究，强调湖北省要把疫情防控工作作为当前的头等大事，并对湖北和武汉做好疫情防控工作作出部署安排。党中央派中央指导组到武汉，全面加强疫情防控第一线工作的指导，同湖北人民和武汉人民并肩作战。全国共有40000多名医务人员驰援湖北，其中驰援武汉的就有35000多名。实践证明，稳住了湖北和武汉的疫情，也就稳住了全国大局。
