On the evening of June 18, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officially released the virus genome sequence data of COVID-19 outbreak in Xinfadi, a wholesale food market in southwest Beijing, through Novel Coronavirus National Science and Technology Resource Service System.
The three sets of data are from the genome sequence data of confirmed cases in Beijing (NMDC60013902-01 and NMDC60013903-02) and the genome sequence data of environmental samples (NMDC60013903-03).
CDC has also submitted the COVID-19 outbreaks information and the virus genome sequence data to World Health Organization (WHO) and Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID) in a view to share with the international community.
The Novel Coronavirus National Science and Technology Resource Service System is jointly established by National Microbiology Data Center led by Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and National pathogenic Microorganism Resource Collection Center led by CDC.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) opened an online scientific literature sharing platform for novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) studies. The COVID-19 Pneumonia Scientific Literature Sharing Platform of CAS collects the published study papers about COVID-19 written by the CAS researchers or in its journals, according to the academy's website.
A team of Chinese scientists led by Prof. RAO Zihe and Prof. YANG Haitao from the Shanghai Institute for Advanced Immunochemical Studies of ShanghaiTech University, Prof. JIANG Hualiang from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica has reported the high-resolution crystal structure of the main protease of the COVID-19 virus and has identified drugs that may hold promise in combating the virus.
