As health officials around the world work to stem the spread
of the novel coronavirus, some in the international community have called for
an independent, global investigation into China and the origins of the virus.
On Sunday, Australia‘s foreign minister, Marise Payne,
questioned China‘s transparency surrounding the outbreak and demanded an
international investigation.
“The issues around the coronavirus are issues for independent
review, and I think that it is important that we do that,” Payne told the
country’s ABC television.
U.S. President Donald Trump has also been critical of
China’s handling of the outbreak, telling reporters on Saturday that the
country should face consequences if it is “knowingly responsible” for the
pandemic.
The call for an international investigation came just days
after the city of Wuhan, China revised its COVID-19 statistics. On Friday
officials in Wuhan raised the official death toll in Wuhan by 50 per cent to
3,869 deaths.
