"Fully Escort Online Teaching, CERNET Network Support Has Been Taken into the State of War!" Jianping Wu, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering and Director of CERNET Network Center, emphasized this at the "Virtual Conference of CERENT Network Support for COVID-19 Prevention and Control".
In order to further implement the general requirement of the Ministry of Education that "Students learn from home, teachers teach from home", CERNET Network Center issued an emergency notice on February 15, and held a virtual conference to deploy and implement CERNET network support for COVID-19 prevention and control.

As early as February 6, in response to the Ministry of Education's notice, CERNET Network Center issued "A Letter to CERNET Users". As of February 12, 153 units had upgraded their bandwidth to 65.6G for free. CERNET core node network centers and CERNET.COM also strengthened communications with their users through various effective ways to understand users' demands and ensure service qualities.
