NSTworld: Not all countries are paying attention, increasing the possibility that the epidemic will get worse. China coronavirus Covid19
Though the coronavirus was first discovered last year in the city of Wuhan, where officials initially tried to cover up the outbreak, China has sought to emphasise the positive role it has played in controlling the global spread of the disease.
China Daily said Singapore, Japan and South Korea had all"based their responses on the experience and lessons drawn from China's successful battle with the virus", and China was now"proactively sharing" its best practices. "espite the unmistakable seriousness of the situation, some countries have tried to play down the risks, and the measures they have taken are not only insufficient to control the pandemic at home, but also not enough to prevent themselves from being the source of virus transmission to other countries," it said.
Chinese President Xi Jinping told United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres last week that China's efforts to control the outbreak had given the world"precious time" to formulate their own responses.
