WHO official says can't force China to give more information on Covid-19 origins

A top World Health Organization official said on Monday that the WHO cannot compel China to divulge more data on Covid-19's origins while adding it will propose studies needed to take understanding of where the virus emerged to the "next level".

Pressed by a reporter on how the WHO will "compel" China into being more open, Mike Ryan, director of the agency's emergencies programme, said at a press conference that the "WHO doesn't have the power to compel anyone in this regard"...
