Since emergency management capabilities with respect to COVID-19 differ across different regions of China, it is necessary to adopt a more comprehensive perspective to study the reasons for these differences and propose corresponding policies. By investigating 287 prefectural-level administrative regions, this study explores the reasons for different levels of COVID-19 prevention performance. The results lead to the following conclusions. The factors influencing pandemic prevention include both structural factors, such as economic and social factors, and the experiences and characteristics of prefectural-level government leaders (party secretaries and mayors), such as grassroots work experience and level of education, which are significantly positively correlated with the progress of pandemic prevention. Based on these findings, we propose suggestions to improve governance capacity in terms of three aspects: the improvement of emergency management capacity, the appointment of cadres in the context of new challenges and missions, and the establishment collocation of prefectural-level leader teams.
由于中国不同地区的应急管理能力存在差异，因此有必要采取更全面的视角来研究这些差异的原因，并提出相应的政策。本研究通过调查 287 个地级行政区，探讨了 COVID-19 预防绩效水平不同的原因。研究结果得出以下结论：影响疫情防控的因素既包括经济和社会等结构性因素，也包括县级政府领导（书记和市长）的经验和特点（基层工作经验和教育水平等），这些因素与疫情防控的进展呈显著正相关。基于这些发现，我们提出了三个方面的建议来提高治理能力：提高应急管理能力、在新挑战和任务背景下任命干部，以及建立县级领导班子的合理配置。
