China delayed the release of information about the coronavirus, according to a new investigation.

Its health officials did not share the coronavirus genome until over a week after scientists in Chinese laboratories decoded it at the beginning of January.

Beijing did not warn the World Health Organization that the virus passed between people until two weeks later.

At the time the WHO publicly praised China for its speedy response.
