Chinese Ambassador to the UK Liu Xiaoming is addressing a press conference at the Chinese Embassy in London. He is talking about China's fight against the novel coronavirus. Here are some of the points he has made:

- The mortality rate of novel coronavirus is very low, much lower than those of Ebola, SARS, MERS and H1N1 of 2009.

- China has strengthened epidemic prevention and control efforts in key areas and enhanced international cooperation in this regard.

- Media reports of the epidemic should be objective and fair as some reports were biased or even contained slander and disinformation.
