Consul Shen Zhiliang, Consul-General of the Consulate in Papeete, interview with a reporter from French Polynesia's "Tahiti News
Reporter: Some local social networks have spoken against Chinese people. What's your opinion on this?
Shen: The World Health Organization and medical experts in many countries believe that compared with epidemics such as atypical pneumonia in 2003, H1N1 influenza in 2009, and Middle East respiratory syndrome in 2012, this new type of coronavirus infection is more contagious, but The fatality rate is not high, about 2.1%.
Due to China's vast area and large population, and its large staff turnover, coupled with the Spring Festival, the number of returnees and visiting relatives has increased exponentially, leading to the rapid spread of the initial epidemic.
