Geneva, March 3

The World Health Organization (WHO) has not abandoned any plans to identify the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, its Director-General said on Friday.

“I have written to and spoken with high-level Chinese leaders on multiple occasions as recently as just a few weeks ago. Until then, all hypotheses on the origins of the virus remain on the table,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

“I wish to be very clear that WHO has not abandoned any plans to identify the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Tedros said. Reuters
