Geneva: World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urges the global leaders to not politicize the hunt for the origins of the novel coronavirus on Monday. The politicization will not help in unearthing the truth of the virus.
Mr. Tedros said addressing a press briefing that the WHO will start the study from Wuhan, and based on the findings, it will explore "if there are other avenues. We are doing everything to make sure that we know the origin. Some have been politicizing this. Our position is very clear that we'll start the study from Wuhan, know what has happened there and based on findings, to explore if there're other avenues," he said. Reiterating from WHO's position, he said, "I would like to assure you that the WHO's position is very very clear. We need to know the origin of this virus because it can help us to prevent future outbreaks." Further, he added saying, that last week the world saw the first drop in the newly-reported cases of coronavirus since September due to the decrease in cases in Europe. He congratulated the world for the "welcoming news", and warned that people still need to be cautioned as "gains can easily be lost". The WHO chief said, "This is no time for complacency, especially with the holiday season approaching in many cultures and countries. We all want to be together with the people we love during festive periods. But being with family and friends is not worth putting them or yourself at risk." Christmas and New Year Eve are here for celebrations where WHO chief said, "Even if we can't celebrate as normal this year, make a plan to celebrate with your family and friends once it's safe to do so. The Covid-19 pandemic will end - and we all have a part to play in ending it." The global coronavirus tally has touched around 63 million.
