WHO urges China to release data on coronavirus origins

Advisers to the World Health Organization on Saturday urged China to release all information related to the origin of the COVID-19 epidemic after new findings were briefly shared on an international database used to track pathogens.

The sequences of the SARS-CoV- 2 virus, along with additional genomic data based on samples taken from a live animal market in Wuhan, China in 2020, were briefly uploaded to the GISAID database by Chinese scientists earlier this year, which is a new clue in the chain of transmission that eventually reached humans.
