The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread worldwide and caused negative economic and health effects. China is one of the most seriously affected countries, and it has adopted grid governance measures at the basic level of society, which include city lockdown, household survey and resident quarantine. By the end of April, China had basically brought the pandemic under control within its own borders, and residents' lives and factory production gradually began to return to normal. In referring to the specific cases of different communities, schools, and enterprises in the four cities of Anhui, Beijing, Shenzhen and Zibo, we analyze grid-based governance measures and we summarize the effectiveness and shortcomings of these measures and discuss foundations and future challenges of grid governance. We do so in the expectation (and hope) that the world will gain a comprehensive understanding of China's situation and introduce effective measures that enable the prevention and control of COVID-19.
新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）疫情已在全球范围内蔓延，并造成了负面的经济和健康影响。中国是受影响最严重的国家之一，中国在社会的基层采用了网格化治理措施，包括城市封锁、家庭调查和居民隔离。截至 4 月底，中国已基本控制了本国境内的疫情，居民生活和工厂生产逐渐恢复正常。通过参考安徽、北京、深圳和淄博这四个城市不同社区、学校和企业的具体案例，我们分析了基于网格的治理措施，并总结了这些措施的有效性和不足之处，讨论了网格治理的基础和未来挑战。我们希望世界能够全面了解中国的情况，并引入有效的措施来预防和控制 COVID-19。
