WHO and China urged to share COVID origins information.
TL;DR
The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has urged China to share information about the origins of COVID-19, saying all scenarios remain on the table until that happens. The virus was first identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019, with many suspecting it spread in a live animal market before fanning out around the world. The WHO has asked China to cooperate with it to help trace the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. A new Chinese study published this week offered some "clues" on origins but no answers, according to WHO's Maria Van Kerkhove.
