WHO virus probe begins with fieldwork in ground-zero Wuhan
Members of the World Health Organization (WHO) team investigating the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, leave the Hilton Wuhan Optics Valley Hotel where the team is currently based post-quarantine in Wuhan, China’s central Hubei province on January 29, 2021.
The WHO investigation has been hobbled by delays, and there are fears over access and the strength of evidence a year after the virus emerged in the central Chinese city.
The WHO insists the probe will be tethered tightly to the science behind how the virus jumped to humans.
Wuhan,
Experts from the World Health Organization visited a Wuhan hospital Friday as the fieldwork began in a closely watched coronavirus origins probe that will take in a food market presumed to be "ground zero" of the pandemic.
