To fight the novel coronavirus, Southwest China's Guizhou province has adopted big data and cloud computing to realize rapid screening of targets, which can improve the prevention and control efficiency and cut off the virus transmission route.

One of the applications is the QR health code, which provides a health monitoring service for patients, businessmen and tourists in a convenient and efficient way.

Guizhou has issued a number of policies to support companies to develop epidemic prevention services, as well as to encourage related institutions to provide online education, remote medical services and remote mental health consultations.

During the epidemic, Guizhou has utilized the national online education platform, which has high-quality education resources, to organize its students to study online.

To ensure the continued transmission of the internet and the operations of terminal equipment, Guizhou had made every effort to prepare emergency plans and checks communications lines daily.

As the epidemic continues to spread across the world, the risk of sporadic cases and local outbreaks still exists. Officials said Guizhou will continue to use advanced technologies to prevent the spread of the virus in the fall and winter.
