The US administration of Donald Trump has called the coronavirus a "Chinese virus" or "Wuhan virus", saying that in China "censorship has supercharged a virus that has now become a global pandemic", which was later accused of racism by some opponents and intended to "distract attention from his administration's inability to contain the disease".
Utawala wa Marekani ya Donald Trump ilitaja virusi vya korona kama &quot;virusi vya Uchina&quot; au &quot;virusi vya Wuhan&quot; wakisema kuwa &quot;udhibiti wa taarifa Uchina ilianzisha virusi ambayo sasa imebadilika kuwa janga la kimataifa&quot;, ambayo imekosolewa na baadhi ya wakosoaji kama ubaguzi wa rangi na &quot;kukengeusha fikira kutoka kushindwa kwa utawala wake kudhibiti ugonjwa huo&quot;.
