WHO-led team in Wuhan probing COVID origins meet Chinese scientists A World Health Organization-led team of experts investigating the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic began meeting with Chinese scientists today. The WHO said the group plans to visit labs, markets, and hospitals in Wuhan. On Thursday, the team completed two weeks of quarantine following its arrival in China, moving to a lakeside hotel in the central Chinese city where the deadly virus emerged in late 2019. The group is expected to spend two more weeks in China, and will visit the seafood market at the center of the early outbreak. It will also visit the Wuhan Institute of Virology. One hypothesis, rejected by China, is that the outbreak was caused by a leak at the government lab. The mission has been plagued by delays, and there has been concern over access. The United States suspected China of hiding the extent of the initial outbreak, criticizing the terms of the visit- under which Chinese experts conducted the first phase of research. The WHO has sought to manage expectations. "There are no guarantees of answers," its emergency chief, Mike Ryan, said earlier this month. Source: Reuters ?? IF YOU LOVE ISRAEL - SHARE NEWSRAEL! ??
