Covid-19: WHO team visits Wuhan Institute of Virology

A team of WHO investigators led by virus expert Peter Ben Embarek has visited the heavily guarded Wuhan Institute of Virology to determine the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic. The research laboratory in the city of Wuhan has been the centre of rumours, with public figures like former President Donald Trump and former secretary of state Mike Pompeo claiming the outbreak was caused by a laboratory leak.

"I am looking forward to a very productive day, meeting the key people here and asking all the important questions that need to be asked," so team member Peter Daszak.
