Join forces to overcome difficulties

Like many others, I’m following the development of the epidemic every day and worried about the increasing number of people infected. Though the five suspected cases of the novel coronavirus in Botswana have been confirmed negative, the Chinese Embassy will continue to work with the Botswana authorities on the prevention of the epidemic.

At the same time, we are also paying close attention to the status of the 21 Botswana students who are in Wuhan. At present, they are all healthy and safe. We highly appreciate the timely and proper handling of these matters by Botswana health institutions as well as the calmness of the local communities under the current circumstances. Sometimes panic can do more harm than the epidemic itself.
