The World Health Organization has called for all governments  to cooperate to accelerate studies into the origins of the COVID–19 pandemic and “to depoliticize the situation.”

“WHO reiterates that the search for the origins of SARS-CoV-2 is not and should not be an exercise in attributing blame, finger-pointing or political point-scoring,” it said in a statement on Thursday. — Editing by Chris Reese
