| The head of the World Health Organisation said on Tuesday he was confident in China’s ability to contain a new coronavirus that has killed 106 people and that he did not think foreigners should be evacuated, China’s foreign ministry said.
Concern is mounting about the impact of the coronavirus may have on the world’s second-biggest economy amid travel bans and an extended Lunar New Year holiday. Global stocks fell again, oil prices hit three-month lows and China’s yuan currency dipped to its weakest in 2020. The WHO chief was not available for comment. A WHO panel of 16 independent experts twice last week declined to declare an international emergency over the outbreak.
Tens of millions of others in Hubei live under some form of travel curbs set up to try to stifle the virus. US President Donald Trump on Monday offered China whatever help it needed, while the State Department said Americans should reconsider visiting China. In rare public self-criticism, Mayor Zhou Xianwang said Wuhan’s management of the crisis was “not good enough” and indicated he was willing to resign.
