(1)　Background:　The　governance　measures　that　governments　deploy　vary　substantially　across　countries　and　even　within　countries;　there　is,　however,　limited　knowledge　of　the　responses　of　local　governments　or　from　different　areas　in　the　same　country.　(2)　Methods:　By　using　grounded　theory　and　an　automatic　text　processing　method,　this　study　analyses　the　pandemic　governance　measures,　the　pandemic　governance　pattern,　and　possible　factors　across　28　provinces　in　mainland　China　based　on　the　text　of　28　official　provincial　government　Sina　microblogs　dating　from　20　January　to　1　July　2020.　(3)　Results　and　discussion:　The　provincial　pandemic　governance　patterns　in　China　are　divided　into　a　pathogen-control　pattern,　a　diagnosis　and　treatment　consolidation　pattern,　a　balanced　promotion　pattern,　a　quick-adjustment　response　pattern,　and　a　recovery-oriented　pattern.　The　pandemic　severity,　economic　development,　public　health　service,　and　population　structure　may　all　have　an　impact　on　pandemic　governance　measures.　(4)　Conclusions:　The　conclusions　of　this　study　may　help　us　to　reconstruct　governance　systems　related　to　global　public　health　emergencies　from　the　perspective　of　normalisation,　as　well　as　providing　important　clarification　for　management　and　a　reference　for　countries　seeking　to　curb　the　global　spread　of　a　pandemic.
