Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa addresses the launching ceremony for the country's preparedness and response plan against COVID-19, in Harare, Zimbabwe, March 19, 2020. Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Thursday thanked China and other countries for the support they have rendered to Zimbabwe as it steps up its preparedness to combat coronavirus (COVID-19).

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Thursday thanked China and other countries for the support they have rendered to Zimbabwe as it steps up its preparedness to combat coronavirus (COVID-19).

The president was speaking at an occasion to launch the country’s preparedness and response plan against COVID-19.

“I wish to acknowledge assistance so far extended to Zimbabwe by the People’s Republic of China and the United Kingdom government,” Mnangagwa said.

China has funded the refurbishment and upgrading, currently underway, of Zimbabwe’s main coronavirus isolation and treatment center, the Wilkins Hospital, in Harare.

China also has a medical team in Zimbabwe which is assisting the country’s health personnel with training on COVID-19.

Zimbabwe has not recorded any confirmed case of the virus and Mnangagwa on Tuesday this week declared the COVID-19 a national disaster to enable the government to mobilize resources towards the fight against the epidemic.

He also banned public gatherings, including national independence celebrations that were slated for next month in Bulawayo, as part of precautionary measures against the spread of the virus.

Chinese plane with a million masks lands in Prague
Prague
Updated: 20-03-2020 18:41 IST

plane from China carrying more than one million face masks for the Czech Republic landed in Prague on Friday, the government said. The Czech government has come under fire over a shortage of medical material which has led thousands of Czechs to make face masks at home as the state banned people from leaving home without their noses and mouths covered.

"The plane behind us contains 1.1 million FFP2 respirators which will be distributed immediately to hospitals and other places," Interior Minister Jan Hamacek told a televised press conference at Prague airport. Schools, pubs, theatres, cinemas and other facilities are closed across the Czech Republic, an EU member of 10.7 million people, which has registered 774 confirmed cases of the virus with three cured patients and no deaths.

On Saturday, the Czech government expects another China Eastern plane with millions of face masks and an An-124 Ruslan cargo plane carrying over 100 tonnes of medical material from China. Hamacek said he expected three planes with medical material to arrive from China every week for at least the next six weeks.

A plane with 150,000 rapid virus tests, also from China, already landed in Prague on Wednesday.

No doubt, China has fought the war so vigorously and restlessly. Hope that lesson being learnt will be utilized to serve humanity despite the differences between countries. Such differences of establishment or Government level shall never come as hurdle to help people around the globe as a great show of humanity.

Way to go guys.

MANILA - Thousands of face masks, test kits and other supplies from China are set to arrive in the Philippines on Saturday to support the country's efforts to fight the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Chinese Embassy in Manila said Friday.

In a tweet Friday, the embassy said around 100,000 test kits, 100,000 surgical masks, 10,000 N95 masks, and 10,000 personal protective equipment (PPEs) will arrive in Manila from Beijing.

The Embassy said it has been closely communicating with the Department of Health (DOH) “to ensure a speedy receiving” of the donations “so as to contribute to Philippine Government’s efforts in fighting the epidemic and benefit the Filipinos as soon as possible.”

Philippine Foreign Affairs chief Teodoro Locsin Jr. earlier announced that China committed to sending 100,000 testing kits, after Chinese Ambassador Huang Xilian informed him of the donation through text message.

He said he was "asked to please alert the Customs to let the donation through pronto -- and the rest of the bureaucracy not to throw a monkey wrench."

The Philippines as of Saturday confirmed 230 cases of the respiratory disease that emerged from China late last year. The tally includes 18 deaths and 8 patients who recovered from the disease, according to the health department.

President Rodrigo Duterte placed Luzon under lockdown from Tuesday midnight until April 12 to arrest the coronavirus spread. Under his order, all households are under home quarantine, public transport is suspended, schools are closed, international travel is restricted, government work is suspended save for frontline employees, and private companies are urged to adopt work-from-home schemes.

Duterte has also placed the entire Philippines under a state of calamity to give the national and local governments access to critical quick response funds. -- With a report from Willard Cheng, ABS-CBN News

Good, but I guess you posted it in a wrong thread, the virus in Italy came from Germany, it's different strain from the one is China.

You can move your post to this thread: https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/coro...hed-italy-from-germany-scientists-say.657655/
Northern Italy is where most of the Chinese migrant laborers go as it's the hub of the fashion industry. So much that, there is a direct flight from Wuhan. Nealy half a million Chinese workers are employed in Italy. And you're telling me it's Germany.

German angle is a fine piece of propaganda, but it's not going to fly given no official confirmation of Patient zero from Germany. You might as well as said it's France, Austria or Switzerland.
