The new strain of coronavirus originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan and has since then spread to several countries across the world, including India.

Meanwhile, a senior White House official said on Thursday that the United States feels let down by a lack of transparency from China over the crisis, contradicting President Donald Trump’s confidence in Beijing in tackling the outbreak.

“We are a little disappointed that we haven’t been invited in and we’re a little disappointed in the lack of transparency coming from the Chinese,” Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, told reporters.
