WHO urges China to share Covid origins data

ai generated text

The World Health Organization (WHO) has repeatedly urged China to share data on the origins of COVID-19, citing the need for transparency and cooperation to prevent and prepare for future epidemics. China has not responded to the WHO's statement, and has previously rejected the lab leak theory as the origin of COVID-19. The WHO has emphasized the importance of sharing data and access, describing it as a "moral and scientific imperative".

  1. World Health Organization
    1. We continue to call on China to share data and access so we can understand the origins of COVID-19. This is a moral and scientific imperative.
    2. By 9-12 January, WHO had published its first set of comprehensive guidance for countries, and on 13 January, we brought together partners to publish the blueprint of the first Sars-CoV-2 laboratory test.
    3. Without transparency, sharing, and co-operation among countries, the world cannot adequately prevent and prepare for future epidemics and pandemics.
    4. As we mark this milestone, let's take a moment to honour the lives changed and lost, recognize those who are suffering from COVID-19 and long COVID, express gratitude to the health workers who sacrificed so much to care for us, and commit to learning from COVID-19 to build a healthier tomorrow.
    5. Five years ago on 31 December 2019, WHO's Country Office in China picked up a media statement by the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission from their website on cases of 'viral pneumonia' in Wuhan, China.
