I was there for two weeks and working directly with ministry officials, and officials from all different sectors, from hospitals through communities to really see what was put in place to bring those numbers down. So [I have] nothing but admiration and thanks for the tireless efforts of people in Wuhan, not just the healthcare workers, but the individuals who stayed in their homes, who adhered to the public health measures for for an extended period of time. We take our hats off to you," she said.
