US puts pressure on China over COVID-19

The United States will continue to pressure China to reveal the origins of COVID-19

White House spokeswoman Karin Jean-Pierre said the US is urging Beijing to show transparency on the issue.

“Uncovering the origins of COVID-19 remains a key priority for this administration and all other countries around the world. The U.S. government, intelligence and scientific community continue to examine the origins of COVID-19 and how this pandemic came about”, – she stressed.

The White House spokeswoman also noted that this requires more data from China and that time is critical in this matter. So the United States and its partners would continue to press China to be transparent about key aspects of the origins of the pandemic in China from day one.
