"We always care about the health and well-being of our Taiwan compatriots. There have been no barriers for Taiwan to get the latest information on the coronavirus outbreak," said Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, at a press conference on Tuesday.

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, Ma said they notified Taiwan of the epidemic's status as well as the control measures many times.

Attaching high importance to the Taiwan compatriots, the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office also promptly informed the region about the confirmed cases of Taiwan compatriots on the Chinese mainland, Ma added. 

"We arranged experts from Taiwan to come visit Wuhan, the center of the outbreak, playing a positive role in jointly controlling the virus," said Ma.

Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities should stop all political hype in the name of the epidemic and stop interfering with the prevention and control of the epidemic, noted Ma.
