The new coronavirus outbreak gets everyone's attention. China's national actions against the outbreak have contributed great contributions to the world. China has been learning from practice for better reporting and is fast to adapt itself. In this article we discuss China's practice in public reporting and its implications to global health. Confirmed cases, dynamic suspected cases, recovered cases, and deaths have been reported both in accumulative numbers and their daily updates. Some ratio indictors reporting (fatality rate, recovery rate, etc.), trend reporting, and global surveillance have been applied as well. Some improvements can still be made. It is necessary to further explore the influential factors behind the indicators for interventions. Recommendations are made to the World Health Organization and other countries for better public reporting and surveillance.
新型冠状病毒疫情引起了大家的关注。中国针对疫情的国家行动为世界做出了巨大贡献。中国一直在从实践中学习，以便更好地报告，并迅速适应。本文讨论了中国在公开报告方面的实践及其对全球健康的意义。确诊病例、动态疑似病例、治愈病例和死亡人数均按累计数和每日更新数报告。还报告了一些比例指标（病死率、治愈率等）、趋势报告和全球监测。仍有一些改进空间。有必要进一步探讨指标背后的影响因素，以便采取干预措施。向世界卫生组织和其他国家提出了改进公共报告和监测的建议。
