The WHO team closed the Wuhan trip – Feb. 9. ABC Report that the team. World Health Organization (WHO) with Chinese experts Jointly press conference to announce the conclusion of the mission to find the truth about the origins of COVID-19 In Wuhan In Wuhan Central China Where the first outbreak was discovered at the end of 2019
The WHO team said the virus was similar. SARS-COVI-2 (SARS-CoV-2) that produces COVID-19 They can be found in many animals. But it was not possible to find direct evidence of animal transmission to humans.
Dr. Peter Ben Mbarek WHO virus experts have announced that the work to identify the origins of the 2019 coronavirus hit the bats that are Natural hoarding host (natural reservoir) or the organism that the 2019 corona virus entered, but is unlikely to be a bat in Wuhan.

part Dr. Liang Wan Nian, MD. The head of China’s COVID-19 expert panel said it believed COVID-19 may have originated from animal transmission. Or from animals to humans Which evolved thereafter But it has not yet been determined which animal the hoarding host is. While bats and pangolins may be hoarding hosts Because the genetic sequence is highly similar But there is no evidence to suggest that the coronavirus 2019 is directly linked to COVID-19.
“The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus 2019 genetics has been identified in a number of animals, including horses, bats and pangolins. However, sampling of bats in Hubei Province has not found evidence of SARS-CoV-2 in the virus. Resident And wild animal sampling in various places In China, SARS-CoV-2 cannot be determined. ”

Dr. Liang said, The susceptibility of feline species such as mink or feline to the 2019 coronavirus could potentially be a potential hoarding host of the 2019 coronavirus, however, the randomized sample size is not sufficient and is still being investigated.
Corona virus 2019 stuck on a broad surface of
Dr. Liang said that Early 2020 infection was linked to exposure to Wuhan’s Hua Nan seafood market. While the sample found the virus on the market a wide area. But it states that it is not possible to determine how the 2019 coronavirus came to this market.
“While the first case of infection Have relationship with this market But infection in other cases Is associated with other markets And other infected people It has nothing to do with any market, ”said Dr. Liang.

The COVID-19 investigation team also said there was no evidence of transmission in Wuhan prior to December. by M.Barek A WHO expert on food safety and animal disease said the 2019 coronavirus is unlikely to leak from a Chinese laboratory. And most may cross to human beings through Intermediate species (intermediary species)
Earlier, China firmly denied the possibility of the 2019 coronavirus leaking from the laboratory. And supports an unproven theory that the 2019 coronavirus may have originated elsewhere before the epidemic in Wuhan. Including imported frozen food packaging
