Georgian Ambassador to China : The number of people infected with coronavirus continues to rise in China, but there is no reason to panic

The number of people infected with coronavirus continues to rise in China, but there is no reason to panic at this point, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Georgia to the People's Republic of China Archil Kalandia told InterPressNews.

According to the diplomat, the city of Wuhan is provided with food and drinking water and all kinds of preventive measures are being carried out.

“I am in constant contact with all the three our fellow citizens, who are in Wuhan now. I talked with the officials from Wuhan municipality and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China. Preventive measures are being implemented throughout China, not just in Wuhan, which is the source of the infection. In addition, the city is provided with food and drinking water. Accordingly, the city is not facing food and water shortages. All facilities of the city are disinfected daily and the situation is under control at this stage. Obviously, the number of infected is increasing and will probably rise in February, but taking these large-scale preventive measures into consideration, local authorities are doing their best to reduce the scales and the number of infected people.

In addition, through various social networks we are in constant contact with our fellow citizens in various regions of China. Fortunately, they are healthy and safe, "said Archil Kalandia.

He called on the citizens of Georgia to follow the recommendations of the Chinese authorities and refrain from traveling.
