“The committee would investigate the emergence of the first confirmed case, considering the fact that the affected person had no record of recent travels or contact with people who had tested positive.
“The findings by the committee would enable us to determine the culpability or otherwise of any individual, group, or organization, directly or indirectly involved in the emergence of the virus.
“They would assess the activities and interactions of the victim with his colleagues and relatives between the time he started manifesting the symptoms and the time he was brought to UMTH.”
