WHO urged not to politicize research on the origin of SARS-COV-2

The previous joint report of WHO and China on the results of the first phase of research into the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was published in March this year. In order to move forward as soon as possible, WHO called on the governments of the participating countries to "de-politicize" the current situation around the coronavirus pandemic.

 “The World Health Organization reiterates that the search for the origins of SARS-CoV-2 should not serve as a pretext for accusations or settling scores for political reasons, - said in a press release from WHO. `` At this stage, it is vital for us to know how the COVID-19 pandemic began so as not to make past mistakes. Finding the origin of any new pathogen is a complex process based on scientific methodology and requires dedication, patience and a sincere desire for cooperation from all parties.
