¿Por que es importante la aplicación de la ciencia y la tecnología en el estudio del covid 19?
Answers
Answer:
Science and technology have always been the most powerful weapon used by mankind to combat epidemics, and China has made full use of the weapon to win the battle against COVID-19, according to a white paper issued by China's State Council Information Office on Sunday.
The white paper, entitled "Fighting COVID-19: China in Action," elaborates the country's efforts in combating the novel coronavirus and carrying out international cooperation over the past several months.
Emergent R&D for drugs, vaccines and test reagents
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, China has been promoting the research and development (R&D) of medicines, vaccines and testing reagents for the novel coronavirus.
Altogether, 83 emergent R&D projects have been launched, focusing on five major directions: clinical treatment and drug screening, vaccine development, test methods and products, pathogenic and epidemiological study, and animal model study.
Chinese researchers have been racing against time to develop vaccines using five technical routes, including inactivated vaccines, recombinant protein vaccines, attenuated influenza virus vaccines, adenoviral vector vaccines and nucleic acid vaccines.
So far, four inactivated vaccines and one adenoviral vector vaccine have been approved for clinical trials. The progress of the country's overall vaccine development is on par with the international level, with some technical routes in a leading position.
