    A WHO joint mission to China that ended on Monday, February 4, 2020 found the virus there "peaked" between in China January 23 and February 2 "and has been declining steadily since then". "This virus can be contained," Dr Tedros said. "Indeed there are many countries that have done exactly that." He said China's measures to lock down several cities helped to prevent an even bigger spread. Image Credit: Gulf News
