WHO asks China to share real-time data on COVID situation

The World Health Organization urged China to regularly share specific and real-time data on the COVID-19 situation in the country. This development comes amid a surge in coronavirus cases which was an after-effect of Beijing's relaxation of its strict 'zero-COVID' policy. The global health agency asked Chinese health officials to share data on genetic sequencing, hospitalisations, deaths and vaccinations. A high-level meeting took place between officials from WHO and China on the current surge in COVID-19 cases to seek further information on the situation, and to offer WHO's expertise and further support, a WHO statement said on Friday.
