Earlier, China said it may postpone its annual congress in March, its biggest political meeting of the year, as the military dispatched hundreds more medical workers and extra supplies to the city hit hardest by a two-month-old coronavirus outbreak. The standing committee for the National People's Congress said it believes it is necessary to postpone the gathering to give top priority to people's lives, safety, and health, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.

The standing committee said it would meet on February 24 to further deliberate on a postponement. The meeting is due to start on March 5.
