		</div><p>The Japanese government is calling for further investigation into the origins of Covid-19, claiming that the World Health Organisation (WHO) report released this week was based on work that faced delays and lacked access to essential virus samples.</p>
<p>Chief cabinet secretary Katsunobu Kato told reporters: “In order to prevent future pandemics, it is indispensable to carry out prompt, independent and experts-led investigations that are free of surveillance.</p>
<p>“We are concerned that the latest investigation faced delays and the lack of access to virus samples.”</p>
<p>The World Health Organisation’s report was released on Tuesday after experts travelled to Wuhan in China – the city where illnesses from the coronavirus were first detected in late 2019.</p>
<p>China has touted its cooperation with the WHO and warned that attempts to politicise the matter would cost lives.</p>
<p>The US and other countries say the WHO report is lacking crucial information, access and transparency, and further study was warranted.</p>
<p>Mr Kato called for additional investigation and analysis and said Japan will encourage the WHO to consider additional investigation inside China.</p>
<p>“We will further cooperate with other countries in carrying out additional studies that are still necessary,” Mr Kato said.</p>
<p>The report said the virus most likely came from bats and spread to an unidentified mammal before being transmitted to people.</p>
<p>It called a laboratory leak an unlikely route of transmission that did not warrant further study.</p>
