Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says he is asking China to be more transparent as scientists search for the origins of the virus.

Ghebreyesus said there had been a “premature push” to rule out the theory that the coronavirus might have escaped from a Chinese government lab in Wuhan, leading to the global pandemic which started in 2020.

The WHO boss will brief WHO’s 194 member states on Friday regarding a proposed second phase of study.
