　　【Abstract】The logistics industry is not only the main force in fighting the COVID-19, but also one of the industries that has suffered the most during the pandemic. By discussing the types and characteristics of material demand, transportation modes, and bottlenecks in different regions during the pandemic, this paper summarizes the important role of the logistics industry in materials protection in key regions, domestic express delivery, and distribution, and coordinating international supply and industrial chains. The rapid-response strategies implemented by the logistics industry were largely dependent on effective policy making, efficient inter-industry networking and various logis-tics innovations. From the perspective of economic recovery and production resumption, the paper highlights multi-phase rapid-recovery strategies with particular focuses on key regions, key nodes, and key enterprises. Finally, the paper proposes an emergency-response logistics network system, in which participating entities, organizing institutions, operators and carriers, and information providers are integrated.
