BEIJING, Feb. 15, 2020 (Xinhua) -- Children and teenagers from across Latin America have expressed their support for China and its people as they grapple with an outbreak of novel coronavirus disease officially named by the World Health Organization (WHO) as COVID-19.
With colored pencils and paper, youngsters drew messages of solidarity and encouragement for the Chinese people, especially those in Wuhan, capital of the central China's Hubei province, the epicenter of the outbreak.
China continues to battle the coronavirus outbreak with decisive and speedy measures that have largely succeeded in preventing its rapid spread.
