Director General, Dr. Tedros Ghebrreysus
The World Health Organization (W.H.O) in an emergency committee meeting on Tuesday, July 13, says that it was a premature decision to rule out the possibility that the COVID-19 pandemic started as a result of a lab leak.
After a visit to China, the World Health Organization report suggested that it was unlikely that the source of the outbreak was a result of a laboratory leak.
The W.H.O is calling for greater cooperation from Chinese officials to be transparent and cooperate in their investigation.
It has been more than 18 months since a public health emergency was issued for COVID-19.
The World Health Organization says global response is lagging and the virus is spiraling out of control with threats of more devastating variants.
Director General, Dr. Tedros Ghebrreysus, says the committee is concern with the widespread view that the pandemic is nearing its end.
The World Health Organization is urging all countries to vaccinate at least 10% of their population by the end of September.
