Fears Over Virus Probe Rise After WHO Team Fails To Visit Wuhan

CHINA

A team from the World Health Organization tasked with investigating the origins of coronavirus did not visit Wuhan, fuelling concern from western governments over Beijing's commitment to identifying the source of the pandemic. A recently concluded three-week trip by the two-person WHO team did not entail a visit to Wuhan, the central Chinese city where the first cases of novel coronavirus were detected in December 2019, the UN agency has confirmed. WHO said the team was merely laying the groundwork in advance of a full international mission to investigate the virus but it was also vague on whether this larger taskforce would visit Wuhan.
