The United Nations urges all member states, including China, to fully cooperate with the World Health Organization amid Beijing’s rejection of an additional investigation into the origins of the COVID-19, UN deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq said in a press briefing on Friday.

“We implore all member states, including China, to cooperate fully with the World Health Organization, and if the World Health Organization believes it requires further information, we hope that they will all cooperate,” Haq said.
