The organisation leading the world's coronavirus response has been criticised for its praise of China's way of dealing with the pandemic.
The World Health Organization (WHO), a United Nations agency dedicated to public health, has not questioned the Chinese government's self-reported Covid-19 statistics.
The country's National Health Commission says the number of cases in mainland China has been dropping, a claim that has been met with scepticism from other countries.
There is evidence Chinese authorities tried to cover up the coronavirus outbreak when it began in Wuhan at the end of last year, as doctors and journalists who attempted to communicate the extent of the disease were detained.
