A team of experts from the World Health Organization is to investigate the origin of the corona pandemic.
With some delay, China has allowed an international team of experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) to enter the People’s Republic to investigate the origins of the coronavirus. The delegation is now due to arrive on January 14th, announced the National Health Authority in Beijing, without giving any further details. The team was originally supposed to travel to China for the investigation at the beginning of January.
However, the arrival was delayed because the authorities did not issue entry permits. The novel virus was first detected in the central Chinese provincial capital of Wuhan at the end of 2019. According to previous assumptions, it is said to have jumped from an animal to a human at an animal market. The USA in particular accuses China of not having openly informed about the virus outbreak and of having contributed to the global spread of the pathogen with a cover-up tactic.
