SHANGHAI (Reuters) - The head of China's Center For Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) on Saturday urged the World Health
Organization (WHO) to return to a "scientific, fair" position in tracing
the origin of COVID-19.
At a news conference, Shen Hongbing warned the WHO against politicising
the source of the virus, which was first detected in central China in
late 2019, or becoming a tool of another country.
