EU leaders urge unfettered probe into origins of COVID-19

 

 --

EU leaders on Thursday called for an unfettered investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, first identified in central China, amid criticism of an initial World Health Organization probe.

 The WHO study in January and February was "insufficient and inconclusive", the U.S. mission to the U.N. in Geneva said in a statement last month, calling for what it called a timely, transparent and evidence-based second probe to be conducted, including in China.
