WHO teams visits Wuhan food market in search of virus clues

Deccan Chronicle  

Wuhan: A World Health Organisation team looking into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic on Sunday visited a market known to be the food distribution center for the Chinese city of Wuhan during the 76-day lockdown last year. The team members were seen walking through sections of the Baishazhou market— one of the largest wet markets in Wuhan — surrounded by a large entourage of Chinese officials and representatives. The members, with expertise in veterinarian, virology, food safety and epidemiology, have so far visited two hospitals at the center of the early outbreak — Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital and the Hubei Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital. The Chinese government has promoted theories, with little evidence, that the outbreak might have started with imports of frozen seafood tainted with the virus, a notion roundly rejected by international scientists and agencies.
