China Rejects WHO Plan for Second Phase of Virus Origin Investigation

Zeng Yixin said he was shocked by the proposal and that the terms were "impossible" to accept

Till date, 4,172,796 people have died so far from the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak as why the WHO has faced growing international pressure to further investigate the origins of the virus.

On Thursday China rejected World Health Organization (WHO) plan for a second phase of an investigation into the origin of the coronavirus, including the hypothesis that the virus could have escaped from a Chinese laboratory. 
Zeng Yixin, vice minister of the National Health Commission (NHC), told, "We will not accept such an origins-tracing plan as it, in some aspects, disregards common sense and defies science".
He also said it was "impossible" for China to accept the terms, adding that the country had submitted its own origins-tracing recommendations

WHO said the first investigation about the origin of virus in china were being hampered due to lack of sufficient raw data.
