Dr. Daniel Xu was invited as one of the several coauthors with international experiences and perspectives to contribute to a book on public emergency management strategies and governance for the COVID pandemic in selected OECD countries. The director of Chinese CDC wrote a preface for the book and the leading public health experts of China are listed on the book’s advisory board.
Dr. Xu submitted the manuscript in English, but in light of the targeted readership, in the end the editors decided to publish only the full text in Chinese with English abstracts.
