The World Health Organization (WHO) is closely following the development of the coronavirus in Taiwan and is learning lessons from how they are fighting it, the body said on Sunday, after complaints from Taiwan it was being intentionally ignored. Taiwan is not a member of the WHO due to the objections of China, which claims the democratic and separately-ruled island as its own. Taiwan’s government has said that keeping it out of the WHO during the outbreak amounts to playing politics with Taiwanese lives.
