A team of Chinese experts, led by China's top respiratory expert Zhong Nanshan, on Thursday held a video conference with medical experts from Harvard University and intensive care specialists from the United States on the treatment of serious COVID-19 patients. The U.S. experts included George Q Daley, dean of Harvard Medical School (HMS). 

The Chinese experts shared their experience in rapid testing of the virus and how to deal with community transmission. The participants also discussed mutual cooperation on clinic research.

The two sides have held at least two video conferences since the outbreak began. At their first conference call on February 4, a joint scientific research team on the virus was set up.

With the rapid spread of the virus worldwide, the Chinese side has been carrying out medical cooperation and sharing treatment experience with Italy and other countries.
