A PANEL tasked with reviewing the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic has criticised China and the World Health Organisation (WHO) for allegedly slow responses to the new virus a year ago.
The Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response was commissioned by the WHO in July in response to calls from the European Union and United States for a probe.
The WHO has previously praised China for sharing the virus’s genome sequence in record time, and warning other countries of the highly infectious new disease by January 3.
Despite warnings, countries including Britain and the United States took no action to prepare for the virus until late March.
A panel of experts commissioned by the World Health Organization has criticized China and other countries for not moving to stem the initial outbreak of the coronavirus earlier and questioned whether the U.N. health agency should have labeled it a pandemic sooner.
