ITV reports that a World Health Organisation (WHO) team looking into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic has visited a market known to be the food distribution centre for the Chinese city of Wuhan during its lockdown.
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 centre of the early outbreak: Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital and the Hubei Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital.
