"The materials would help fill the existing gaps in terms of the pressing shortage of preventive materials and testing kits in Ethiopia and beyond, while the guideline will also help us respond to the epidemic with the latest knowledge based on China's experience," he said. "The message is very important. It is a very good example for all over the world that feel panic and blame is not the answer. The answer is organisations, countries, institutions, and governments bringing their resources together to team up to provide this kind of medical supplies for the protection of the people. So, this is a very good example," Gebremariam said.Although China has made progress in containing the Covid-19 epidemic, its medical supply remains tight.
