Chinese authorities refuse to provide World Health Organization experts with raw data on the first cases of COVID-19 infection. WHO researchers told the Wall Street Journal about this.
WHO experts, during a mission in China that ended this week, requested data from the PRC authorities on 174 cases of coronavirus infection, which were detected at an early stage of the outbreak in Wuhan in December 2019..
Chinese officials provided researchers with a summary and analysis of early cases, as well as an analysis of searches on medical records months before the Wuhan outbreak was detected, saying they found no evidence of the virus in them..
However, the researchers themselves were not given the initial data, and they were unable to conduct their own analysis of how early and how widely the virus spread at the initial stage of the epidemic..
