The World Health Organization said, on Monday, that it is still awaiting full cooperation from China to clarify the origin of the Corona virus pandemic, 5 years after the first cases of pulmonary disease were recorded in the city of Wuhan.

The organization said in Geneva: “This is a moral and scientific duty. We continue to call on China to share and access data so that we can understand the origin of (Covid 19).”

The World Health Organization warned that “without transparency, participation and cooperation between countries, the world cannot adequately prevent and prepare for future epidemics and pandemics.”

It is noteworthy that since the beginning of the pandemic, China has expressed concerns that it will be blamed for the global outbreak of the disease.

Since then, the government and state media have adopted a massive public opinion campaign, focusing on the possibility that the virus may have come from abroad rather than from China.

A joint committee of Chinese experts and the World Health Organization was not able to travel to Wuhan until 2021.

In its final report, the committee considered it “possible or very likely” that the coronavirus originated from a species of wild animal, then was transmitted to another species of animal before eventually being transmitted to humans.

However, it is still unclear to determine the origin and route of transmission.

Last September, an international scientific study presented additional evidence that “Covid-19” originated from wild animals being traded in a market in Wuhan, and that the virus did not leak from a laboratory in the city located in central China, as was rumored.
