China says US reaction to virus spreads 'panic'
China has accused the United States of deliberately spreading panic in its response to the novel coronavirus, including the implementation of a travel ban on Chinese travelers.
US foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying stated that Washington has not provided any substantial aid to China, and has instead only contributed to global panic.
The US declared a public health emergency and temporarily banned foreign nationals who recently traveled from China, aiming to curb the virus's spread.
The virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, has since spread to over 24 countries, leading to numerous travel bans globally.
The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak a global emergency, with China reporting over 17,000 infections and 362 deaths.
The Philippines reported the first foreign death due to the coronavirus on Sunday.
