China admits to destroying
early coronavirus samples - but says the action was taken due to safety
concerns and was NOT part of a cover-up
· It
has been confirmed that the Chinese government issued an order to dispose of
coronavirus samples at unauthorized laboratories on January 3
· A
government official said the samples were terminated in order to to comply
with Chinese public health laws, and denied the action was part of a cover-up
· The
U.S. has repeatedly accused the Chinese government of deliberately downplaying
the threat of COVID-19 after it originated in Wuhan last December
· Worldwide,
more than 4.35 million people have tested positive to the virus and at least
297,000 have died
China has acknowledged it
destroyed early samples of COVID-19, confirming a claim put forward by U.S.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo late last month.
On Friday, Liu Dengfeng, a
supervisor with China's National Health Commission, admitted that 'the Chinese
government issued an order on January 3 to dispose of coronavirus samples' at
unauthorized laboratories, according to Newsweek.
But Liu denied that the samples
were destroyed as part of a cover-up, insisting that they were disposed of so
as to 'prevent risk to laboratory biological safety and prevent secondary disasters
caused by unidentified pathogens.'
He stated that the labs were
'unauthorized' to handle such samples, and they had to be terminated in order
to comply with Chinese public health laws.
Liu did not specify how many
labs destroyed coronavirus samples...
