"As Covid-19 runs riot across the world, China controls the pandemic," according to NBC News.

"Restrictions in China are similar to those in place throughout Europe and the U.S., but widespread levels of public adherence appear to be making a difference," the media house said.

According to the Chinese education ministry, the country's strict prevention measures helped more than 240 million students from kindergarten to university return to class in September.

The students have also adjusted to the new measures, a teacher from a primary school in Beijing told NBC's Today.

"They all understand it's the practice we use to keep them safe at school, so they all follow it," he said.

Ali Mokdad, a global health professor at the University of Washington and a former official with the international health program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said China did "an amazing job of controlling the virus."

The top Chinese infectious disease expert Zhong Nanshan also shared similar views in an online medical forum, adding that China has done a better job than many other countries to educate the public about novel coronavirus prevention, helping to keep the COVID-19 pandemic under control within its borders.

"China launched a community-based control strategy to swiftly curb the outbreak of the virus. To a great extent, it's a victory thanks to the efforts in spreading medical knowledge," he said, adding that the need to improve the public's knowledge of science was the biggest lesson from the fight against the novel coronavirus.

Zhong said China's biggest achievement in its battle with the virus was successfully preventing it from infecting more people in the community.

When COVID-19 hit China, it responded by imposing a lockdown on the central city of Wuhan in late January. The disease is largely under control in China, and authorities fight sporadic outbreaks with mass testing and contact tracing.

But while China's prevention and control model against the novel coronavirus was successful in the country, other countries might not be able to do it the same way, another excellent Chinese infectious disease expert said at the forum.

The novel coronavirus has infected nearly 50 million people worldwide and killed more than one million people, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Globally, 47 candidate vaccines are in the process of clinical evaluation, with 10 of them in the last and largest phase of testing, according to data from the World Health Organization.
