The party reiterated that the country will adopt proactive fiscal policy and the monetary policies will be made more flexible in the future.

The slackening of coronavirus spread

Zhong Nanshan, a renowned scientist at China's National Health Commission and a prominent expert in respiratory diseases, told the media that the new cases of the COVID19 should decelerate massively after the peak. He said that once the deadly Coronavirus outbreak attains a certain peak which hasn't yet been confirmed, the cases are not expected to elevate on a larger scale. Nansham further added that the fatality rate would “continue to fall” after that.

In mainland China, the number of new infections fell significantly to 397, and at least 109 new deaths were confirmed. The new figures soared the total cases in mainland China to 76,288 with a total of 2,345 deaths so far. Scientists have claimed that the significant decline in the new cases reported of infection could also mean the slackening of the spread of virus, confirmed reports.
