Abstract: For more than four years now, the objective of determining the source of the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China and the route of transmission of the infection to the human population has not been achieved despite existing capacity in molecular epidemiology and World Health Assembly Resolution mandating that objective. This study seeks to ascertain the reasons for failure to achieve that objective and to propose feasible alternative strategies to attain that objective quickly and accurately. Exploratory research was adopted, applying the tools of input-output device, data extraction, management by objective, rational decision approach and the deductive model. Fitting the objective of determining the source of the outbreak of COVID-19 as expected output, the actions of key players in the pandemic response (fitted as processors) were evaluated for consistence or otherwise in transforming data/inputs to achieve the output/objective.
