Islam Times - China: The Rumors about Corona is More Dangerous Than the Virus Itself

Islam Times - The Chinese Foreign Ministry called on Thursday not to believe what is being promoted about the "Corona" virus, and affirmed that it follows a responsible and open approach regarding the spread of this virus.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said that the Chinese authorities are publishing information in this regard on time, adding that rumors about the Corona virus are more dangerous than the virus itself.

"We have drawn attention to some rumors and lies about the situation against the background of the spread of the disease, which is more dangerous than the virus itself. You may have noticed that the Director-General of the World Health Organization has recently expressed the hope that not all parties will believe and spread these rumors," the spokeswoman said.

The spokeswoman indicated that a number of countries have begun work to track down the spreaders of rumors about this virus and hold those responsible for fabricating this news accountable and spreading it.

China announced that the numbers recorded on Wednesday, show a high number of corona virus victims, with 600 deaths, 28,018 injured, and 1153 people leaving the hospital.
