Covid-19 started in Wuhan, the capital of central China’s Hubei province, late last year. The epidemic appeared in more than 210 countries and territories, causing the infection of more than 27.3 million people and almost 888,000 deaths.
China has applied drastic strategies against the epidemic with a great contribution from the team of doctors and epidemiologists to control the epidemic. As of today, the country marks the 23rd consecutive day that it has not registered community infections. All new Chinese cases are imported.
However, the administration of US President Donald Trump has repeatedly accused China of a lack of transparency, with hiding information about the epidemic and missing an important moment to stop the pandemic. Trump announced last month that his good relations with Xi had changed after the Covid-19 outbreak.
