UPI: China urges foreign diplomats to stay away
Beijing's foreign ministry is advising foreign diplomats to refrain from traveling to China, a week after it banned all non-Chinese people from entering the country.
Chinese diplomatic spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Friday at a regular press briefing China's priorities lie in preventing the importation of the deadly coronavirus back into the country and blocking a second wave of infections.
China has claimed since last month the epidemic is under control and that the situation has stabilized. Travel restrictions have been lifted against the residents of Hubei Province, the epicenter of China's outbreak, but the public may be leery of official assessments.

On Friday Hua said globetrotting diplomats should not be an exception to the rule.
