NEW DELHI: Amid reports of the US President Donald Trump halting funding to the World Health Organisation (WHO) for its seeming failure to warn countries about the risks posed by novel coronavirus, India on Wednesday said it would be best to focus on efforts to contain the pandemic. “At present, our efforts and attention are fully focused on dealing with the #COVID-19 pandemic.
Once the world has addressed this crisis, we can revisit this question," a person familiar with the matter said. On Tuesday, Trump said if the WHO had acted appropriately, he could have instituted a travel ban on people coming from China sooner – lessening the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the US.
