China asked the members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) to abstain from implementing unnecessary restrictions to trade with the Asian country as a pretext to prevent the outbreak of the Covid-19 coronavirus.

China said on Thursday that it had submitted protests to some countries, due to the cancellations of flights amid the ongoing outbreak of the 2019-NCov coronavirus, a decision that has only caused more panic and confusion.

China has accused the United States of creating panic across the world over the fast-spreading coronavirus, which has caused over 360 deaths since early January.

Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump's “delusional Deal of the Century” on the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict, stressing that it will be “dead on arrival.”
