May 23, 2020 8:41 PMBEIJING: China’s top disease control official said on Saturday that public criticism over the initial coronavirus outbreak was understandable, but defended Beijing’s response to the crisis.
Gao said China’s disease control centre should improve its epidemic reporting mechanism and address the severe talent drain in the wake of the virus outbreak. However, Chinese scientists are still unable to establish how the virus was passed on to humans, Gao said, adding: “I hope the public can give scientists more time for us to understand this virus.”“China is negotiating with various countries on the cooperation of vaccine research and development,” Gao said.
