Hangzhou in East China's Zhejiang province shared its epidemic prevention experience during an online meeting hosted by the Asia Pacific Region of the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) on Sept 25.

The city has made tireless efforts to combat COVID-19 since its outbreak. Technologies like 5G, cloud computing and artificial intelligence have played a pivotal role in disease prevention and control as well as work resumption.

Hangzhou's City Brain project developed by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba to help improve city management has also been put to effective use. 

With the updated 3.0 version, the system supports the health code which was launched on Feb 11 as a way to certify people's health condition.

A special index based on big data analysis was also created to reflect the real-time resumption of work at enterprises and provide data for government departments to analyze and verify companies' return to full production.
