Virus Outbreak: ‘Wuhan pneumonia’ accurate term: SuDISTRUST WARRANTED? These included China’s efforts to “bleach” its image, including having WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus publicly praise its handling of the COVID-19 outbreak, and thanking it for buying time for the global community, Tsai said. Premier Su Tseng-chang speaks during a question-and-answer session at the Legislative Yuan yesterday. China has gone to great lengths to demand acclaim for having contained the new virus, but such manipulations always backfire when overdone, Su said. Given its history with China, Taiwan knew how important it was to be cautious when it comes to viral outbreaks and it successfully deployed early preventive measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, Su said.
