DISINFO: China keeps coronavirus research secret

SUMMARY

Why has China not given the coronavirus strain to any other country to examine? Sharing the virus stem would help produce a vaccine.

RESPONSE

The claim is groundless. While laboratories around the world are now working on new tests for the Wuhan coronavirus and developing treatments for those infected with it, China is hosting a team of World Health Organisation experts, led by Canadian emergency expert Dr. Bruce Aylward.
