The situation worried in China, where it all started. The dissemination in 14 Chinese provinces of the coronavirus scares the authorities.
The situation is “serious and complex,” admitted this Saturday in front of the press, the spokesman for the Ministry of Health, Mi Feng, stressing the speed of circulation of the virus and announcing that the Chinese capital has hardened its health restrictions.
“The authorities, who apply a zero tolerance policy with regard to the slightest case of COVID-19, have emerged the major means to eradicate an epidemic recovery for the time being established for less than 300 cases,” reports the AFP agency.
Some six million Chinese across the country are also confined. The major city of Lanzhou (north-west) prohibited any exit from home on Saturday except imperative reason.
