The Chinese government has taken active measures to combat the atypical pneumonia disease, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao in Beijing Tuesday at the regular press conference.
In response to related questions, Liu said relevant Chinese departments has disseminated the latest report on the disease, and prior to that, local governments had publicized information.
With respect to this problem, he said, there's no doubt about the government's transparency.
The Chinese government is trying to offer more information to the public, Liu said.
He said the Chinese side has communicated effectively with the World Heath Organization on the prevention and treatment of the disease and that WHO experts have gone to Guangdong Province to conduct research.
Liu said China hopes that related nations will evaluate the situation scientifically according to the statistics provided by the Chinese Ministry of Health and maintain regular cooperation and exchanges with China.
He said foreigners visiting China are safe as long as they take proper preventive measures.
Chinese tourist groups visiting other nations are not infected with the disease, he said.
