WHO Head COVID Lab-leak Probe Needed | National Review

The head of the World Health Organization called for further investigation into whether the novel coronavirus first leaked from a laboratory, in remarks to the press on Tuesday.

WHO director-general Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that all hypotheses remain on the table regarding the origin of the coronavirus. Dr. Tedros made his remarks during the unveiling of a WHO report on the origin of the pandemic, which concludes that a lab leak is highly unlikely.

Although the team has concluded that a laboratory leak is the least likely hypothesis, this requires further investigation, potentially with additional missions involving specialist experts, which I am ready to deploy, Dr. Tedros said.

The director-general also indicated that the team contracted by the WHO to investigate the pandemic s origin was not given full access to Chinese data.
