The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stated that investigations into the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic in China have stalled due to the lack of preliminary information related to the early days of the disease's spread there. He added in a press conference today, "We demand transparency, candor, and cooperation from China." He continued, "We owe it to the millions who suffered and the millions who lost their lives to know what happened."
