NEW DELHI: A special session of the UN Security Council (UNSC), the decision making body of the United Nations, on the novel coronavirus called overnight Friday seems to have ended inconclusively but not without the US demanding complete transparency and timely sharing of public data, seen as a swipe at China.
Beijing on its part hit back saying the spread of covid-19 --which surfaced in China last year – was a "global challenge" and required "cooperation," and "mutual support" to be defeated and not by "scapegoating" anyone.
The virus has infected 1.6 million people world over and has claimed 95,731 lives. As of now, the US is the most affected country with over 466,000 infections and a death toll of about 17,000.
