In a context related to the health conditions in China, at the beginning of this December, Republican members of the US Senate sent a call to US President Joe Biden to limit flights between the United States and China due to the outbreak of a respiratory virus in China.
The Chinese Ministry of Health announced that the significant increase in respiratory and chest diseases in the country, which attracted the attention of the World Health Organization, is caused by influenza and other causes, not including a new virus.
