A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday that Beijing is still negotiating the dates and terms of a visit by a World Health Organization-led team that has been planning to study how COVID-19 began.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying's statement to a daily news briefing in Beijing adds a layer of complexity to statements by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus a day earlier that the visit was delayed by red tape.
