❶ 为什么要对武汉市新冠肺炎确诊病例数、确诊病例死亡数进行订正？

　　Why were revisions made to the numbers of confirmed cases and deaths of COVID-19?

　　答：新冠肺炎疫情是新中国成立以来，在我国发生的传播速度最快、感染范围最广、防控难度最大的一次重大突发公共卫生事件。

　　The novel coronavirus epidemic is a major public health emergency which is the fastest spreading, most widely affecting, and most difficult to control since the founding of the New China. 

　　武汉市作为全国疫情防控决战决胜的主战场，在党中央、国务院坚强领导下，在湖北省委、省政府具体指挥下，采取最全面、最严格、最彻底的防控措施，目前疫情传播已基本阻断，离汉通道已解除管控，为全面详细开展疫情数据核查订正工作创造了有利条件。对涉及确诊、死亡等疫情信息，均应及时报告，并公开透明、实事求是予以发布。

　　As the main battleground for securing a decisive victory in the national epidemic prevention and control, Wuhan has taken the most comprehensive, stringent and thorough prevention and control measures under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, as well as the command of the CPC Hubei provincial committee and the provincial government. Currently, the epidemic transmission in Wuhan has been basically contained and the restrictions on outbound travel channels have been lifted, creating favorable conditions for carrying out the checking and rectification work of the epidemic data in a comprehensive and detailed manner. Epidemic information, such as the confirmed cases and deaths, should be reported in time and released in an open, transparent and truthful manner. 

　　疫情早期，由于收治能力不足、少数医疗机构未能及时与疾病预防控制信息系统对接，医院超负荷运转，医务人员忙于救治，客观上存在迟报、漏报、误报现象。

　　In the early period of the outbreak, due to the insufficiency in admission and treatment capability, a few medical institutions failed to connect with the disease prevention and control system in time, while hospitals were overloaded and medics were overwhelmed with patients. As a result, belated, missed and mistaken reporting occurred. 

　　根据《中华人民共和国传染病防治法》第三十八条第四款“公布传染病疫情信息应当及时、准确”，《突发公共卫生事件应急条例》第二十五条第三款“信息发布应当及时、准确、全面”，《中华人民共和国统计法实施条例》第十九条“统计资料不完整或者存在明显错误的，应当由统计调查对象依法予以补充或者改正”，《人口死亡信息登记管理规范(试行)》第十四条“医疗卫生机构应当建立数据订正制度”、第十五条“医疗卫生机构应当建立数据比对校核与补报制度”等规定，须对全市新冠肺炎确诊病例数、确诊病例死亡数予以订正。

　　In accordance with the fourth paragraph, Article 38 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases, which stipulates that "information on epidemic situation of infectious diseases shall be released in a timely and accurate manner"; the third paragraph, Article 25 of the Regulations on Preparedness for and Response to Emergent Public Health Hazards, which stipulates that "information shall be released in a timely, accurate and comprehensive way"; Article 19 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Statistics Law of the People's Republic of China, which stipulates that "if statistical data are incomplete or have obvious mistakes, the target under statistical investigation shall provide supplementation or correction according to law"; Article 14 and Article 15 of the Rules for the Population Death Information Registration (for trial implementation), which stipulate that "medical institutions shall establish data revision systems," "medical institutions shall establish data comparison, verification and supplementation systems," and other regulations, it is a must to rectify the numbers of confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths in the city.
