BEIJING, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- China's State Council has issued a set of guidelines on carrying out the patriotic public health campaign in a deep-going way, with the aim of laying solid foundations for building a healthy China.

The document calls for efforts to summarize and publicize the country's successful experience in COVID-19 prevention and control, strengthen the application of big data, effectively prevent and control infectious and chronic diseases, and improve people's health, so as to lay solid foundations for building a healthy China.
