The international investigation into the Covid-19 pandemic's origins in China will publish its report in the week of March 15, the World Health Organization's chief has said.

"I know that many member states are eager to see the report of the joint WHO-led study on the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus -– and of course so am I," Tedros said in a speech to the UN health agency's member countries on Thursday. "Rest assured that when the reports are ready, we will ask the expert team to share the reports with member states ahead of their release, and to brief you on the findings."The international investigation in the city only began in January 2021 and wrapped up last month.

Experts believe the disease originated in bats and could have been transmitted to humans via another mammal.
