Zhong, Bao-Liang, et al. "Knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards COVID-19 among Chinese residents during the rapid rise period of the COVID-19 outbreak: a quick online cross-sectional survey." International journal of biological sciences 16.10 (2020): 1745.

The attitude of the Chinese people about coronavirus was a positive one, “most Chinese residents of a relatively high socioeconomic status, in particular women, are knowledgeable about COVID-19, hold optimistic attitudes and have appropriate practices towards COVID-19.” (Zhong, 1740). The article talks of Chinese women being knowledgeable about coronavirus pandemic, holding a positive and optimistic attitude since there are health education programs that are aimed at improving the knowledge on COVID-19.

The article also noted that the Chinese public exhibited a good level of COVID-19, which shows that they have a positive attitude, believing that the pandemic is manageable as they have adhered to good health practices as provided by the world health organization. The article also notes that the COVID-19 related knowledge, attitudes and practices are mainly affected by age, marital status and the level of education.

Zhang, M., et al. "Knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding COVID-19 among healthcare workers in Henan, China." Journal of Hospital Infection 105.2 (2020): 183-187.

In the article written by Zhang (183) above, the author indicates that according to their analysis on the worker’s knowledge, practices and attitudes regarding coronavirus pandemic, it shows that the people of Chinese were at first worried about their population at the beginning when the outbreak occurred, however, after putting in place the measures that could improve the situation especially on the public, they raised the hopes of individuals on surviving the pandemic.

The author of the article also posited that more than 85% of the total Chinese population feared self-infection with the virus while 89.7% were able to follow the correct practices regarding the control of the spread of COVID-19.

Savić, Dobrica. "COVID-19 and work from home: Digital transformation of the workforce." Grey Journal (TGJ) 16.2 (2020): 101-104.

From the article above, it is noted that after the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019, in China, working from home was experienced in a many of the organizations and when the disease intensified, all offices and businesses were forced to close as a measure of combating the spread of corona-virus. (Savić, 102)

The author also notes that COVID-19 did not only facilitate working from home routine, it improved communication by making people to device the methods of communication that were highly used in China to ensure that employees could communicate with their employers with ease as they work from home.

He, Junyu, et al. "Comparative infection modeling and control of COVID-19 transmission patterns in China, South Korea, Italy and Iran." Science of the Total Environment 747 (2020): 141447.

The spread of COVID-19 in China has reduced greatly, this is having been facilitated with the increase in the public education to the public by the health sector in the country. Employers also played a major role in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in China by allowing employees to work from home and put strict measures in place to ensure that all employees follow the moment they return to work in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19. (He, 750)

Another reason as to why China currently reports the lowest number of COVID-19 infections according to (He, 747), is the way the health sector responded by putting in place the preventive measures as well as treatments for those who had already conducted the disease.

Liu, Wei, Xiao-Guang Yue, and Paul B. Tchounwou. "Response to the COVID-19 epidemic: the Chinese experience and implications for other countries." International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 17.7 (2020): 2304.

China has several mechanisms in place for control of COVID-19 pandemic, (Liu,2304). Such measures include reporting to the public concerning he unexplained viral pneumonia outbreak that helped the public to take precautions in good time to avoid the spread of the disease.

Another response method the Chinese government used to ensure that the pandemic is controlled was manufacturer of local vaccines that have helped in boosting the immune system of the people of China helping them to resist the infections caused by Corona virus.

Kupferschmidt, Kai, and Jon Cohen. "Can China's COVID-19 strategy work elsewhere?." (2020): 1061-1062.

It is true that the strategies, policies and measures used by China to control the spread of COVID-19 disease can work in other countries. This is because all other countries are using the same measures, keeping distance in public places to ensure there is reduction in the spread of coronavirus, ensuring everyone is vaccinated, which improves the immunity of people, a strategy that has been used by almost every country.

China is unique in a way that it has the political system that is in place can gain public compliance with extreme measures, the country also has an extraordinary ability of doing labor-intensive, large-scale projects quickly. This is unlike other countries and therefore the measures that are used in China could prove difficult being adopted by other nations.
