“…With the deepening of an epidemic, addressing the public's psychological panic and formulating precise prevention and control measures can effectively block the spread of that epidemic. Local governments mobilize community workers to participate extensively in epidemic prevention publicity, through mutual supervision between neighbors (35) and formulating propaganda slogans (36). Some extreme measures are even taken (37), to alleviate the public's psychological anxiety and ensure trust in the government (38).…”

The global spread of COVID-19 has led to profound reflection on building a global public health security system. This paper uses the urban data collected during the COVID-19 epidemic in China in 2020 to evaluate the effect of the National Sanitary City (NSC) policy on the prevention and control of that epidemic at different stages. We found that the NSC policy was able to curb the occurrence and transmission of the epidemic the epidemic effectively after controlling a series of factors such as urban characteristics, population mobility and pathogen transmission. Compared with non-NSCs, the NSCs were better able to control the number of infected people and the infection rate and transmission rate, and this performance was even more impressive when the epidemic gradually entered the sporadic distribution stage. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the impact of the NSC policy on the prevention and control of COVID-19 differs according to the economic development level and population size. To a certain extent, the NSC policy has blocked the spread of viruses by continuously improving the urban medical and health system and strengthening the publicity concerning infectious disease prevention and control knowledge.

This paper explores emotional governance in Chinese street-level bureaucracy by conducting a content analysis of service slogans. Emotional governance involves the use of emotional management strategies in the process of public administration, with the goal of influencing interactions between administrators and citizens to achieve desired policy outcomes. We gathered service slogans from the social media accounts of public service agencies. Through content analysis, this study identifies common emotional governance strategies and discusses the implications for administrator-citizen interactions. Building upon the findings and relevant literature, this paper proposes recommendations to help Chinese street-level bureaucracy “walk the talk,” emphasizing the hands-on practice of effective emotional governance through managing employees’ emotional labor. The significance of this research lies not only in providing practical guidance for managers seeking to enhance public service performance but also in contributing to our understanding of emotional governance, an area that remains under-researched.
