On Monday, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters America's actions have"unceasingly manufactured and spread panic," according to"It is precisely developed countries like the United States with strong epidemic prevention capabilities and facilities that have taken the lead in imposing excessive restrictions contrary to [World Health Organization] recommendations," Hua said.
"WHO should inform the world about transparency concerning these measures, which should not constitute an example to follow but a decision to reconsider," Houssin said.
