GENEVA (AN) — A World Health Organization-commissioned expert panel faulted the international organization along with China and other nations in a report on Tuesday that found numerous "lost opportunities" early on to try to head off the coronavirus pandemic.
WHO and other health authorities around the world could have issued "more timely and stronger warnings of the potential for human-to-human transmission" of COVID-19, according to WHO's Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, led by former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark.
