全体在粤外籍人士：

　　值此疫情防控关键时期，我们首先向关心和支持广东省疫情防控工作的外籍人士表示感谢。

　　疫情发生以来，在中国共产党的坚强领导下，全国上下戮力同心，共克时艰。国际社会高度认可此次中国开放透明的做法，对中国打赢疫情防控战充满信心。世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞称，中方行动之快、规模之大，世所罕见，这是中国制度的优势，有关经验值得其他国家借鉴。

　　广东省在全国率先成立疫情防控工作领导小组，科学、严密布置防控工作，及时启动重大突发公共卫生事件一级响应。目前，我省疫情防控工作依法科学有力有效，社会面稳定，各类生活必需品市场供应充足，公共交通均正常运转，医疗物资、生活物资、防疫工作运输畅通，不封城。

　　当前，防控形势依然严峻，各类社交媒体常有不实传言，请关注中国国家卫生健康委员会、广东省卫生健康委员会和广东省政府新闻办公室每日例行新闻发布会的官方消息，做到不信谣、不传谣、不慌张。同时呼吁大家勤洗手、勤通风、不聚会、少走动、戴口罩，秉着对生命健康高度负责的态度自觉配合体温检测，遵从专业机构和人员关于防疫隔离的建议。如遇问题，可向事发地外办或有关国家驻穗总领馆就近求助。

　　我们相信只要坚定信心、同舟共济、科学防治、精准施策，就一定能打赢疫情防控阻击战。感谢您的理解和支持！

　　最后，祝大家鼠年吉祥，幸福安康！

Foreign friends in Guangdong,

At the critical time of epidemic prevention and control, we would first like to extend our gratitude to all foreign friends who have supported Guangdong’s endeavor in combating the novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia.

Since the outbreak, all Chinese nationals have worked as one with a strong will to surmount the urgent situation under the strong leadership of the CPC. The international community speaks highly of China’s open and transparent practices, and expresses full confidence in China in winning the battle against the epidemic. As applauded by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the rapid response and massive mobilization scale of China are rarely seen in the world. It demonstrates the advantages of its system, and the experience of China amounts to an example for other countries.

Guangdong Province took the lead among all the provinces in establishing a prevention and control leading group, making scientific and meticulous arrangements, and timely activating the Level I Public Health Emergency Response. At present, Guangdong has taken law-based, scientific, robust and effective measures in curbing the epidemic. As such, the society is stable with sufficient supply of daily necessities, functional public transportation, and smooth transportation for medical, essential and epidemic control related supplies. There is no plan for city lockdowns.

The situation of epidemic prevention and control remains severe, whereas false and unverified information are commonly seen on various social medias. We therefore strongly suggest you to follow the official information released by the National Health Commission, Guangdong Health Commission as well as Guangdong Provincial Information Office for the latest update. Please remain calm, while refrain from trusting or spreading misleading information. We also advise you to frequently wash your hands and open the window for ventilation, stop any gathering, reduce outdoor activities, and wear masks. It is essential to voluntarily accept body temperature checks for your own health, and follow quarantine advices given by professional institutions and personnels. Should there be any problem, please turn to local foreign affairs office/bureau or your Consulate General nearest to you for help.

We have every reason to believe that the overwhelming victory on the battle against the epidemic is dawning with strong determination, concerted efforts as well as scientific and tailored measures. Thank you for your understanding and support!

We wish you a prosperous and healthy year of mouse!
