GENEVA (Xinhua): The World Health Organization (WHO) said Tuesday (Feb 18) that measures to restrict people's movement in China amid the Covid-19 outbreak are a correct strategic and tactical approach, and WHO would like to see progressive implementation of public health measures.

"This is a very good public health practice," said Dr Michael Ryan, executive director of the WHO Health Emergencies Programme, who referred to the fact that the government in China had spent a number of weeks pressuring the virus and now actively engaged in door-to-door surveillance, which has led to the number of cases dropping away lately.

"You can argue whether those measures are excessive or whether they're restricted on people, but there's a lot at stake here. There's an awful lot at stake here, in terms of public health, and in terms of not only the public health of China but of all people in the world," he said.
