There are fears of a new Covid-19 virus outbreak in China after a person has been reported to have contracted the disease in the country from another person who had returned home from abroad.
The warning comes form Professor Li Lanjuan, a member of Beijing’s expert team on the virus who that said she was “very worried that imported cases could trigger another large-scale epidemic in our country”.
The virus originated in China, in the city of Wuhan, and it killed thousands in the country before being brought under control. In the meantime, it spread across the globe and the epicentre of the disease is currently centred in Europe with Italy being the hardest hit.
Europe and North America are having difficulty containing the Chinese virus and are limited in the measures they can feasibly take whereas in China the Communist dictatorship were free to implement the strictest controls without fear of repercussions.
