China has said the United States should invite the World Health Organisation to their country to study coronavirus origins.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said the US must explain their more than 200 bio labs all over the world, including the Fort Detrick lab.
The response came after America’s infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci called on Beijing to release the medical records of nine people whose ailments might provide vital clues in Covid-19’s origin.
Wenbin said the Wuhan Institute of Virology has clarified that they had not contacted the novel coronavirus prior to December 30, 2019.
