The World Health Organization (WHO) is still working to identify
the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, its director general said on
Friday, after a US agency was reported to have assessed the
pandemic had likely been caused by a Chinese laboratory leak,
Trend reports citing
Al
Arabiya.
“I have written to and spoken with high-level Chinese leaders on
multiple occasions as recently as just a few weeks ago… all
hypotheses on the origins of the virus remain on the table,” said
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that the US Energy
Department had concluded the pandemic likely arose from a Chinese
laboratory leak, an assessment Beijing denies.
“I wish to be very clear that WHO has not abandoned any plans to
identify the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Tedros said.
