Geneva | The chief of the World Health Organisation has urged Beijing to offer more information on the origins of COVID-19 and 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.

“We’re pressing China to give full access, and we are asking countries to raise it during their bilateral meetings – [to urge Beijing] to co-operate,” said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “We have already asked in writing to give us information … and also [are] willing to send a team if they allow us to do so.”
