COVID-19 Did Not Originate In Wuhan – WHO Expert

COVID-19 Did Not Originate In Wuhan – WHO Expert.

On Saturday, a Russian expert said the Covid-19 virus did not originate in the Huanan seafood market at Wuhan, though market may have made it possible for its spread.

The seafood market was linked to an early cluster of COVID-19 cases, but scientists are yet to come to an unequivocal conclusion regarding the role it played in the contagion.

 “There is no evidence that the virus originated there’’ but hypothetically, there are all conditions for the spread of the virus there,“ Vladimir Dedkov, a member of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) expert team, was quoted as saying by Sputnik.

Dedkov also refuted the theory of a virus leakage while visiting the Wuhan Institute of Virology along with nine other WHO experts on Wednesday.

 “Of course, it was important for our mission to visit this facility, talk to our colleagues and see how everything is organized there,’’ the expert said.

 “The laboratory is perfectly equipped. “It is hard for me to imagine that something could have leaked from there,’’ he added.
