Chinese authorities have reportedly tightened their grip on coronavirus studies by stopping the publication of any research into the disease.
According to the communist government’s new position, all research papers into the virus will be triple-checked before being published.
Studies investigating the origins of Covid-19 will have to go through even more eyes and will have to be approved by top officials before being shared online.
It comes as the Chinese government seeks to control explanations about the origins of the coronavirus, which was first reported in Wuhan back in December.
