China doing professional job managing Coronavirus – Trump
US President Donald Trump said Friday that China is doing a ‘very professional job’ against coronavirus.
The virus has spread to about two dozen countries since first being identified in December, prompting the World Health Organisation to declare a global emergency.
Countries around the world have been flying their citizens out of the central Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicentre of the disease.
SARS, a disease that infected 8,000 people and killed 800 globally between 2002 and 2003, and also began in China, was linked to the consumption of civet cats, another exotic meat.
The coronavirus belongs to the same family of viruses.
