WHO: Virus traceability expert mission will go to Wuhan Virus Institute

A WHO expert mission began investigating the origin of coronavirus (Covid-19) in Wuhan today, Jan. 29, to find the origin of the virus and to more effectively fight the human threat of coronavirus. The move has received global attention.

According to an AFP report from Wuhan today, January 29, experts from the World health Organization (WHO) finally started today in Wuhan a field investigation into the origins of the coronavirus, which should be carried out particularly in sensitive locations.

The WHO expert team was released from a 14-day quarantine on Thursday 28. They spoke with Chinese scientists this morning before leaving their hotel and then visiting a hospital in the city where the outbreak began at the end of 2019.

The WHO confirmed Thursday that investigators will go to the prestigious, Wuhan Institute of Virology, which deals with coronaviruses. The institute has laboratories P3 and P4.

From the beginning of the outbreak, there have been various hypotheses that the virus may have leaked out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s labs before contaminating the planet. This hypothesis was also adopted by the administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump, but this theory is not yet supported by anything tangible.

A dozen WHO experts will also visit the South China Market, the first outbreak site of the coronavirus Covidien-19 outbreak and the place where live wildlife is sold. It has been closed for more than a year.

WHO also highlighted on Twitter that “the team is planning to visit hospitals, laboratories and markets.” “They will talk to the people who initially participated (in the fight against the disease) with some of the first patients infected with coronavirus Covid-19.”

However, the exact schedule of activities for these experts remains unclear. Their tweets and those of the WHO are the main sources of information for the outside world. This is because China has remained virtually silent on this retrospective investigation by WHO experts into the outbreak. This is politically very sensitive for China.
