In September 2020, he was nominated as a member of COVID-19 Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, WHO.
Professor Zhong, shouldering the responsibilities in the outbreak of three coronavirus events this century, has made great efforts in clinical diagnosis, medication, scientific research and governmental strategies.
