　　CCTV News:At 15: 00 on March 25th, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council held a press conference to introduce the new generation of information technology to help prevent and control the epidemic situation, return to work and resume production, and the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Xie Shaofeng, director of the Information Technology Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the press conference that the new generation of information technologies such as the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and blockchain have played an important role in the prevention and control of the epidemic and the resumption of production.

　　Xie Shaofeng introduced that on February 18th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Using Next Generation Information Technology to Support the Prevention and Control of Epidemic Situation and Resume Work", which has achieved good results from the current document implementation.

　　Xie Shaofeng pointed out that in supporting the scientific prevention and control of the epidemic, some medical institutions use new technologies such as the Internet, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence to accurately and efficiently carry out epidemic monitoring and analysis, virus traceability, patient tracking and community management. Using artificial intelligence, big data, 5G and other technologies to speed up the diagnosis of virus detection, research and development of new vaccines, prevention and treatment, and improve the efficiency of anti-epidemic, some medical material manufacturers rely on the Internet platform to carry out accurate docking of supply and demand of medical and epidemic prevention materials, efficient production, overall deployment and recycling management.
