The World Health Organisation has decided to form a new advisory group to study the origin of Covid-19 and develop a global framework to study pathogens with pandemic potential. The new panel has been named the International Scientific Advisory Group for Origins of Novel Pathogens. "For SARS-CoV-2, it will support the rapid undertaking of recommended studies outlined in the March 2021 report," the WHO said.
