WHO seeks next steps in COVID-19 origins probe
WHO seeks next steps in COVID-19 origins probe
After an international mission to SLOT ออนไลน์ ที่สุดของเกมทำเงิน 2021 China turned up more
questions than answers about the pandemic origins, the WHO is evaluating how to move
forward through a diplomatic quagmire to solve the mystery.
Determining how the virus that causes COVID-19 first began spreading among humans is seen
as vital to preventing future outbreaks.
But a long-delayed report, drafted by the team of international experts sent to Wuhan at
the start of the year and their Chinese counterparts, drew no firm conclusions and called
for more investigation.
The World Health Organization's emergency committee this week urged
the "rapid implementation" of the report recommendations for phase two probes.
But while the WHO and countries worldwide agree further investigation is needed, a fight
is brewing over what the next phase of inquiry should entail and where it should take
place.
It took more than a year after COVID-19 first surfaced in Wuhan in December 2019 to get
the international expert team to China, and Beijing appears intent on seeing the next
phase focus elsewhere.
"We hope that other relevant countries will cooperate closely with WHO experts in
a scientific, open, transparent and responsible manner, as China has done," Chinese
foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters on Mar 31.
