TL;DR Summary

The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) has urged China to share information about the origins of COVID-19, saying that all hypotheses remain on the table until that happens. The virus was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and has since killed nearly 7 million people worldwide. While recent data from Chinese scientists has provided some clues, the WHO is still working to determine the earliest cases and whether necessary research was undertaken in China. The WHO has also asked the US for original data that suggested a laboratory leak in China caused the pandemic.
