Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says he is ready to send a second team to probe the matter.
| The chief of the World Health Organisation has urged Beijing to offer more information on the origins ofand is ready to send a second team to probe the matter. The genesis of the pandemic still remains unclear nearly four years after the first cases emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
“Unless we get evidence beyond reasonable doubt, we cannot just say this or that,” he said. But he believes “we will get the answer. It’s a matter of time.” The WHO was accused of being too lenient on China’s slow initial response, which critics say enabled global transmission rates to soar beyond its borders. But Mr Tedros rejected this, saying the organisation collaborated with China as it took steps to limit the virus, then openly criticised Beijing when it did not allow the health body to effectively probe the origins of COVID-19, he said.
