Last week, India alleged that China was deliberately refusing to allow aircraft to be shipped while allowing other countries to operate flights to take its citizens from Wuhan. China dismissed India’s allegations.

The Foreign Ministry had said that medical supplies would help China in its efforts to control the spread of the coronavirus. The World Health Organization has declared the spread of coronavirus a public health emergency. The ministry said the aircraft contained 15 tons of medical supplies, including masks, globs and other medical supplies.

Let us know that the number of people who died due to coronavirus infection in China has crossed 27715 thousand. At the same time, the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus reached 80000. Although the outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is decreasing.
