On January 25, 2020, the CPC Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regional Committee and the People’s Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region activated the first-level public health emergency response to tackle the pneumonia epidemic caused by a novel coronavirus, which the authority sees as the top priority. So far, the epidemic control and prevention has been well organized and implemented. We, the Foreign Affairs Office of the People’s Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, sincerely hope that all foreign nationals in Inner Mongolia could follow the precautions and safety rules recommended below.
