How does the Chinese government treat Novel coronavirus pneumonia

China's powerful system and the effective measures it has taken to prevent and control novel coronavirus-related pneumonia are rarely seen in the world, Director-General of the United Nations' World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Tuesday.

Ghebreyesus made the remarks while meeting with State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing.

The WHO and the international community highly appreciates, and fully affirms the decisive measures the Chinese government has taken to deal with the outbreak and also thank China for its tremendous efforts to curb the spread of the contagion, he said.

China set a record in identifying the pathogen in a short time following the outbreak of the contagious disease, Ghebreyesus said, and he praised the country's timely sharing of the virus' DNA information with the WHO and other countries.

We believe that the Chinese people will be able to eliminate the disease as soon as possible.
