WHO implores China for better co-operation to find COVID-19 origins

The latest:

The head of the World Health Organization says he’s hoping for better co-operation and access to data from China in the search for the origins of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says getting access to raw data had been a challenge for the international expert team that travelled to China this year to investigate the cause of the outbreak, which was first reported from Wuhan.

He says the Geneva-based body is “asking actually China to be transparent, open and co-operate, especially on the information, raw data that we asked for at the early days of the pandemic.”
