REUTERS/Denis BalibouseLONDON, Jan 3 - Leading scientists advising the World Health Organization said they wanted a "more realistic picture" about the COVID-19 situation from China's top experts at a key meeting on Tuesday as worries grow about the rapid spread of the virus.
So far, sequencing data from China provided to the online GISAID hub has shown the variants circulating there are offshoots of Omicron, in line with the dominant variants in the rest of the world. Koopmans said they have only seen a "tiny fraction" of China's cases sequenced so far – around 700 – and called for the establishment of a global surveillance network to keep track of SARS-CoV-2.
