2020年CRI 习近平主席宣布中国两年内将提供20亿美元国际援助支持抗疫

President Xi Jinping has announced that China will provide aid to the international community to fight Covid-19.

He made the announcement while addressing the 73rd session of the World Health Assembly via video link.

"China will provide $2 billion over two years to help with COVID-19 response and with economic and social development in affected¹ countries, especially developing countries."

He says China will work with the United Nations to set up a global humanitarian² response depot³ and hub in China, and ensure the operation of anti-epidemic supply chains.

Meantime, He says China will establish a cooperation plan for African hospitals.

He says China is ready to work with the international community to bolster⁴ support for the hardest-hit countries under the greatest strain of debt service so that they can tide over the current difficulties.

A city in Jilin Province has imposed complete closed-off management for local residential⁵ communities with confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19.

Stores and supermarkets in Shulan are now responsible for delivering daily necessities.

People who work for government agencies or companies that have resumed operations need special passes for entry and exit of their residential communities.

Households in other residential communities or villages are only allowed to dispatch one family member once every two days to go shopping for living materials for no more than two hours.

Since the city saw a new locally-transmitted COVID-19 case on May 7, Shulan has reported 19 new local confirmed cases, and over 500 close contacts of the cases.

Confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States have topped 1.5 million.

Figures from Johns Hopkins University show that COVID-19 deaths rose to over 90,000 as of Monday.

The state of New York remains⁶ hardest-hit with over 351,000 cases and more than 28,000 deaths.

Other states with over 50,000 cases include New Jersey⁷, California and Michigan.

Meanwhile, over 40 states have started to partially⁸ or fully⁹ reopen their economies.

However, the U.S. in general is yet to see a downward trend in the rate of COVID-19 infection.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that the state is relaxing some of its reopening criteria¹⁰.

This means most of the state may soon be offering services such as dining at restaurants.

He says it applies to counties that want to reopen faster than the state, and estimates that 53 of 58 counties could meet the new criteria.

The European Union says it's put together 151 million U.S. dollars in financial aid to bolster food security in East Africa.

Food security in the region has suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The EU says the grant will provide support to farmers and small and medium sized enterprises.
