GUANGZHOU, March 20 (Xinhua) -- The epidemic of the novel coronavirus pneumonia indeed took place in China, but it does not mean it originated there, Chinese respiratory specialist Zhong Nanshan said on Wednesday at a press conference in Guangzhou.
China has accumulated experience and drawn some lessons from the fight against the coronavirus for the past two months, said Zhong.
Though China has reached a milestone of zero new infections in Wuhan, the epicenter of the epidemic, the spread of the virus has been swift worldwide. China is willing to share experiences with other countries to fight against the epidemic.(Edited by Yang Yifan, yangyifan@xinhua.org)
