WHO sends team to China to set up investigation into COVID-19 origins: report - Fox News

The World Health Organization has sent experts to China in an effort to start an investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.

A team consisting of an animal health expert and an epidemiologist arrived in Beijing on Friday to determine logistics, targets and participants for a WHO-led mission to examine origins of the virus as well as how it spread, the U.N.

The investigation comes as the pandemic continues to grow worse both in the U.S.

The last WHO coronavirus mission to China was in February, after which the team’s leader, Canadian doctor Bruce Aylward, praised China’s efforts to contain the virus and share information as it spread.

Since then, upwards of 120 nations have called for an investigation into the origins of the virus, voicing frustrations and concerns that China held back information at a critical time!

China also reportedly stalled for two weeks before providing WHO with data on patients and cases, costing valuable time when the virus could have arguably been more effectively slowed or contained.
