中国本土の新型コロナウイルスへの対応 : 感染ゼロ政策への道筋とその実態

Abstract

While the global spread of the COVID-19 virus cannot be expected to converge, mainland China, which was the first place where the virus spread, has reached "Zero Corona". Unlike Japan and Western countries, the reason is that the Chinese government authorities took a policy to strongly restrict the private rights of citizens from early on. How is the “Zero Corona policy” established and how is it developed? This paper discussed the process and the actual situation through on-site consideration and data analysis. The Chinese government made a question, "What is needed to achieve zero?", then updated its measure by accumulating knowledge and experience in dealing with the spread of infection in Wuhan and various parts in the mainland. This measure has been effective for a year and a half in eliminating viruses. In addition, the reason of the fact that these measures are implemented, while the government recognized the magnitude of the loss caused by neglecting the measures, the government and citizens in mainland china the region where the unknown virus spread first in the world have a peculiar "fear of the virus", it has become clear that the fear playing a major role for zero corona policy.
