While we are closely following the situation in China, daily reports about the epidemic and measures taken by the Chinese government, we would like the praise the behaviour of the Chinese public, citizens in all Chinese cities that have adopted the safety measures proposed by the national and the local governments, to stay in their homes and take individual safety responsibilities, in order not to additionally spread the epidemic.

Most admirably, Chinese government has taken the most comprehensive and rigorous measures for prevention and control of the epidemic that the World has ever seen, with the highest sense of responsibility for the safety of its own citizens, and all the people globally. It took much courage to implement unpopular measure of putting dozens of millions of people under the area of strict control in Hubei province, to maximize the efforts of containing the epidemic. Chinese scientists have in exceptionally short time identified the genome sequence of the coronavirus.

Chinese doctors and medical workers are the pride of the nation, many voluntarily going to Wuhan to risk their lives and health for the ones that are unfortunate to be infected. International communities are looking with admiration on the fact that the Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan, with the capacity of 1000 beds, will be built within 10 days, which shows the strength of China, and the ability to quickly react to any crisis. China is showing that it has much experience with these types of dangers, and also has clear determination and responsibility to quickly reduce and eliminate the epidemic.

Our faith and hearts are with You, China!
