China accused the
United States on Monday of spreading "panic" in its response to the deadly coronavirus, including imposing a ban on Chinese travellers.
The US "hasn't provided any substantial assistance" and has only created "panic", said foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying at a regular press briefing.
Washington on Friday declared a public health emergency and temporarily banned the entry of foreign nationals who have travelled to
China over the past two weeks, to contain the spread of the outbreak.
