China says WHO should investigate origin of COVID-19 in other countries as well

Beijing, Jan 11 (Sputnik) The World Health Organization (WHO) should conduct research to identify the origin of COVID-19 not only in China, but also in other countries and regions, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a briefing on Monday.
Earlier in the day, China's National Health Commission said that a delegation of WHO experts will arrive in China on Thursday to determine the origin of COVID-19.
"WHO needs to conduct similar research in other countries and regions as well," Zhao said, noting that as the situation with the COVID-19 evolved and as scientists had more information about the virus, more states should be involved in the research.
