PCPs reported potential solutions for improving countermeasures, such as improving management, optimizing workflows, providing additional support, facilitating cooperation, and strengthening the primary care system. To understand PCPs' perceived barriers to and experience of performing their tasks in epidemic control, we recruited frontline PCPs in China and conducted in-depth interviews using a qualitative design. The government officials and medical experts irregularly visited the community/township health centers and inspected PCPs' daily practice of epidemic control, including the material preparation and arrangement, and held meetings to discuss the existing problems and potential solutions with PCPs. One participant stated, "It really troubled me that I had to accompany those supervisors, maybe 3 to 5 times a week, and show them what we had done with countless papers and forms and photos." Some instructions distributed to PCPs by supervisors were perceived as "scratching the surface".	./cache/cord-307946-1olapsmv.txt	./txt/cord-307946-1olapsmv.txt
