"The Secretary stressed the need for full transparency and information sharing to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and prevent future outbreaks," State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said on Wednesday. Pompeo has repeatedly accused Beijing of covering up the scale of the coronaviurs outbreak in the early days in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.During the call, he also noted the aid the American people delivered to the people of China in January - and continue to offer - and the high importance the US attaches to China's facilitation of medical supply exports to meet critical demand in the United States. The US has over 639,000 confirmed Covid-19 cases and over 30,900 deaths."The two sides confirmed their commitment to defeat the COVID-19 outbreak and restore global health and prosperity," Ortagus said.Pompeo "stressed the need for full transparency and information sharing to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and prevent future outbreaks," the department said in a statement.Earlier, Pompeo told Fox News on Tuesday that China did not give Americans access when it was needed the most in the beginning of the outbreak in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.Pompeo also criticised the WHO for taking an awfully long time in declaring the COVID-19 a global pandemic.

Underlining the importance of happiness classes in such times, Sisodia, who is also the education minister, said, "The activities of happiness class would now be conducted at home everyday by the parents. "We will support around 8 lakh students and their families to practice mindful meditation from tomorrow with the help of our teachers.
