Coronavirus is spreading rapidly in China, which has so far caused 106 deaths.
To talk about the tremendous situation in China, the Albanian journalist Edison Myrteza, who lives in Beijing was in a direct line to the “Morning Abc”.
Parts from the studio interview:
How can you live in China and not take the subway?
Beijing is too big, maybe because it’s Chinese New Year too – everyone’s coming home. There are not many people in the cities, if you want to use the subway you can use it, but it is better to save yourself.
Are Chinese people celebrating New Year meanwhile?
Unlike previous years, it has not been celebrated. Maybe in small countries they have tried to celebrate. But this year unlike other years has been very unenthusiastic People are very scared.
I read a statement from our ambassador there, have you ever thought of coming back to Albania?
This question has been asked to me by hundreds people. I just came to Albania and it is probably impossible for me to move. After a few days we will probably start to work normally.
It is not known the exact number of Albanians there. The Embassy does not have a database for Albanians and this thing had to be done many years ago.
The embassy says there are many Albanians doing business with China. The number is something portable like having or not having a database?
Yes of course, but the database should be for those who stay more than 6 months. It is not known, I can not say for an exact number but this had to be done many years ago.
Maybe the number of those affected may be much higher than the media says, but we have only the Chinese media which we can refer.
At Euronews I have seen a report where Chinese scientists are trying to figure out ways of transmitting and saying there is no mutation. Are they working on this?
It was said in fact that it is mutated but now it is said no. There is no official confirmation of this yet. Maybe they want to make it a problem. Maybe the US president will help to ease tensions in both countries./abcnews.al
