On November 16, local time, WHO held a routine press conference for new coronary pneumonia. Michael Ryan, head of WHO's health emergency project, said that China and other countries have adopted comprehensive response measures to solve more serious epidemics and keep the spread of the virus at Very low level.
At present, the number of cases in many countries is very small, but any country or region has the risk of imported cases or undetected cases.
Michael Ryan pointed out that existing evidence shows that the spread of the new coronavirus in China is extremely low.
China has taken very active measures to respond to any surge in new crown cases, such as large-scale testing. This is not something that all countries can do. It requires a lot of resources to achieve it.
In this case, only a few cases were found.
If there are a large number of undetected cases with local transmission, large-scale testing will find some cases.
Therefore, there is no evidence that China is facing a significant epidemic problem.
