“The outbreak is still developing rapidly, and the virus control situation is severe and complicated.”
China, especially ports of entry, should strengthen test screening of people of high infection risk and improve monitoring of potential flare-ups, as the virus is still spreading in surrounding countries, Wu told a news briefing.
