A World Health Organization official said Friday that the group had no evidence to support a claim by a White House economic adviser of lack of transparency by China over the coronavirus outbreak and called on countries to"avoid politicizing this issue right now."
Ryan called the remarks"opinion" and noted that he expects U.S. experts to be part of the WHO team in Wuhan, the epicenter of the virus. He added that there has long been"deep scientific collaboration" between the U.S., international organizations and China, including extensive publishing by China in international medical journals about the virus.
He called on officials to"avoid politicizing this issue right now" and to"let our scientists get on with it ... let them work together and we fill find answers." Meanwhile, the World Health Organization continued to report lower numbers, standing by the way cases were counted before Hubei’s shift. WHO pressed for more details Friday on the change in tabulating cases. Doctors in Hubei are now making diagnoses based on symptoms, patient history and chest x-rays instead of waiting for laboratory confirmation.
The move reflects Xi's efforts to deal with the crisis that has disrupted normal public life and left millions essentially locked down in major cities. “Certainly the advice we're received externally from the WHO is that there's no case for any contingency plans or cancelling the games or moving the games," Coates said.
