GENEVA, March 19 — Advisors to the World Health Organisation yesterday urged China to release all information related to the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic after new findings were briefly shared on an international database used to track pathogens.
Access to the information was subsequently restricted “apparently to allow further data updates” by the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention . “These data do not provide a definitive answer to the question of how the pandemic began, but every piece of data is important in moving us closer to that answer,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Friday. “These data could have — and should have — been shared three years ago.”
“ newly analysed data and nothing new,” said George Gao, professor at the Institute of Microbiology at the CDC, when asked by Reuters why the sequences were not uploaded before. He said that GISAID, the pathogen database, took down the sequences, not the scientists.
