Taking the government microblog data of various states and cities in Hubei Province from January 1 to March 25, 2020 as the sample, this paper uses LDA topic model and spatial analysis method to mine the implicit semantics and analyze the temporal and spatial characteristics.The results show that: (1) there is a significant positive correlation between the response of government microblog and the development of the epidemic. During the epidemic, government microblog is an important channel for the governments of various states and cities to communicate with the people;(2) The government microblog mainly includes seven implied themes, which reflect the positive actions of the government in promoting covid-19 epidemic control from the theme frequency;(3) In response to major public health emergencies, the media response of Hubei provincial government is relatively fast and the topic management is properly selected.
