President Xi Jinping has said on several occasions that China’s efforts to curb the spread of the contagion not only aim to protect the safety and health of the Chinese people but also to contribute to global public health. With the virus spreading rapidly in other countries, the World Health Organization increased its assessment of the epidemic’s risk from high to “very high” globally onWHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on March 2 that the spread of Covid-19 in South Korea, Italy, Iran and Japan has become the greatest concern.
