US President Joe Biden said the US will continue tracing the roots of the COVID-19 pandemic that caused so much pain and death around the world.

Biden made the statement after receiving a report from the US intelligence community conducting into the origins of COVID-19.

He said critical information about the origins of this pandemic exists in China and government officials in China have worked to prevent international investigators and members of the global public health community from accessing it.

The President also called on the international community to fully share information about the roots of the pandemic so that everyone would better understand how COVID-19 came to be in order to prevent further pandemics.

Earlier, the World Health Organization announced that it would set up a team investigating the roots of COVID-19 and other dangerous diseases.

Vietnamese scientists have successfully developed a mobile oxygen and compressed air generating system to help ease the current shortages of oxygen for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

Each of the stations, created by engineers from Hanoi University of Science and Technology, can provide oxygen for a 20-bed ICU or up to 60 patients.

“It takes between 1 and 2 weeks to produce a station at the earliest. We are willing to transfer the technology to other companies for mass production if necessary,” said Ngo Thanh Son of NovaMed Vietnam, a partner of the project.

2 stations have been completed and will soon be sent to Binh Duong and Dong Nai provinces, 2 of the largest COVID-19 hotspots in Vietnam at the moment.
