WHO’s China Representative, Gauden Galea, said in an Bloomberg interview that it’s absolutely impossible to reach a conclusion at this stage that China’s containment measure on coronavirus has worked. He added, “the best sign is when one sees numbers reach a peak and then decline well beyond the incubation period. We are not in that stage yet”.
Galea also said WHO is now closely watching 10 provinces in China for signs of new infection hot spots. The provinces include Zhejiang, Guangdong and Henan. Recent decline in new cases in Hubei gives a “much needed sigh of relief”. But it’s accompanied by a rise in numbers of infections in other provinces.
