The Russian Foreign Ministry will hold a briefing without journalists for the first time due to coronavirus
New restrictions are being introduced around the world to prevent the spread of coronavirus: Donald Trump at an emergency briefing at night announced the closure of air traffic with Europe for 30 days from Friday, Turkish authorities recommended hoteliers to postpone the start of the tourist season to the end of April, sporting events and business conferences are cancelled.
It is interesting that today the traditional briefing by Russian Foreign Ministry Speaker Maria Zakharova will be held via video conference. This step is explained by the recommendations of the World Health Organization. Instead of live communication with journalists, Zakharova will answer questions received by the call center.
While panic is growing in the Western world, Chinese authorities have announced that the peak incidence of coronavirus has passed. The last temporary hospital in Wuhan has been closed. Some observers interpret this as evidence of the effectiveness of China's state model, which was able to mobilize society to defeat the epidemic.
China's economic recovery could be helped by falling oil prices. In addition, Beijing will be able to offer the world its proven methods of treating coronavirus.
