The WHO is still waiting on China to share covid origin data.
WHO employees activated emergency systems on 1 January 2020, and informed the world on 4 January.

We continue to call on China to share data and access so we can understand the origins of COVID-19. This is a moral and scientific imperative. Without transparency, sharing, and cooperation among countries, the world cannot adequately prevent and prepare for future epidemics and pandemics.
