Ten Q&As on Origin Studying of the COVID-19 (6)

Q: Why does China insist that the next phase origins study should be carried out in various places and countries around the world?

A: For some time, more and more reports have pointed to separate outbreaks in multiple places in the world in the latter half of 2019, and at least five states in the United States alone had earlier COVID-19 infections before the first officially reported confirmed case. This again shows that origin-tracing of COVID-19 is a complex scientific matter, which calls for a global collaboration of scientists with a global perspective.
