President Xi Jinping on Tuesday inspected the COVID-19 outbreak epicenter in central China, pledging a continuous fight toward victory as prevention and control efforts have "turned the tide."

The inspection to Wuhan, Hubei Province, took the president to a hospital treating severely ill COVID-19 patients and a residential community. He visited patients, medics, community residents and workers, police officers, military personnel, officials and volunteers who have been fighting the novel coronavirus.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, called for firm, solid and meticulous prevention and control efforts to defend Hubei and Wuhan.

The following are highlights of Xi's remarks during the inspection:

-- Thanks to hard work, the situation in Hubei and Wuhan has shown positive changes with important progress, but the task of prevention and control remains arduous.

-- The positive trend in epidemic control could not have been achieved without their sacrifice, devotion, perseverance and efforts.

-- With their concrete actions, the people of Wuhan have demonstrated the strength and spirit of China, as well as the Chinese people's love for their family and nation, which enables them to stick together through thick and thin, he said.

On behalf of the CPC Central Committee, Xi sent condolences to people who died in the epidemic and people who sacrificed their lives fighting on the front line. He said:

-- Medical workers are "the most beautiful angels" and "messengers of light and hope."

-- The frontline medical workers have taken on the most arduous missions, and they are "the most admirable people in the new era" who deserve the highest commendations.

-- All prevention and control measures taken by the CPC Central Committee against the virus are to prevent more people from being infected and save more patients' lives.

-- The spread of the virus has been basically curbed in Hubei and Wuhan, thanks to efforts of the whole Party, the whole country and the whole society.

-- You (medics) are the biggest heroes.

Leaving Huoshenshan Hospital, Xi came to a residential community. People quarantined at home waved to Xi from their balconies and windows. Xi waved back and expressed his regards. He stressed:

-- The importance of communities in epidemic prevention and control, requiring grassroots Party organizations and Party members to play their key roles in containing the virus spread in communities.

-- Closely relying on the people to win the people's war against the epidemic.

After the field inspection, Xi chaired a teleconference and delivered an important speech. He said:

-- Since the outbreak, the CPC Central Committee has taken the most comprehensive, rigorous and thorough prevention and control measures to resolutely curb the spread of the virus in Wuhan and Hubei.

-- Initial success has been achieved in stabilizing the situation and turning the tide.

-- Medical treatment should be given the top priority to improve the recovery rate and reduce mortality to the greatest extent under the principle of scientific and targeted treatment.

-- The fight against the virus is at a critical moment, and efforts must be made to further preventing the spread and exportation of cases.

Xi demanded more understanding and tolerance for people in Hubei and Wuhan if some vent their feelings for long time under self-quarantine, as well as efforts to ensure the supply of their life necessities. He said:

-- The epidemic will not affect the fundamentals of Hubei's steady and long-term sound economic development, and policies and measures must be implemented to support enterprises, stabilize employment and create more jobs.

-- The response to the virus is a "test" for China's system and capacity for governance, which has brought both experience and lessons, and more efforts must be made to fix the shortcomings and weak links as soon as possible.

-- Party organizations, members and officials must shoulder responsibilities, adopt sound prevention and control measures and improve their capabilities in the test.
