New Delhi: India again pitched for finding the origins of Covid-19, a day after the World Health Organisation set up a group of experts to carry forward studies on the contentious issue over a year-and-a-half after the virus was first detected in Wuhan, China.
India’s Raman Gangakhedkar, a renowned epidemiologist and Dr C G Pandit National Chair at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), is among 26 members of the Scientific Advisory Group for determining the origins of the virus, according to the WHO.
“Let me just reiterate what we have stated till now. We have our interest in further studies and data on this issue of the origin and the need for understanding and cooperation by all concerned,” external affairs ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said at a media briefing.
