2月5日，世卫组织驻华代表高力接受CGTN田薇专访时表示，如果没有地方和国家层面采取的措施，疫情蔓延会更严重。他说：“我们对武汉市民在防控疫情过程中所做出的奉献和牺牲感到钦佩。” Without the measures that have been taken, both locally and nationally, there would have been a larger outbreak, said Gauden Galea, World Health Organization (WHO) Representative in China, in a CGTN exclusive interview on Wednesday. The official earlier led a team to China's Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus, to inspect local conditions. We admire the dedication and respect the sacrifices of Wuhan residents on the prevention and control of the outbreak, said Galea.
