WHO Visits Wuhan Market To Investigate Origins Of Coronavirus

The video discusses efforts to trace the origins of the coronavirus, focusing on the seafood market in Wuhan, China, linked to early infections in December 2019. Scientists visited hospitals and the market, initially suspecting wild animals as the source. Although the market is largely ruled out, it may offer clues on the virus's spread. The investigation is politically sensitive, with China aiming to deflect blame for early response missteps. A single visit is unlikely to confirm the virus's origins, and the team will continue fieldwork to deepen their investigation.
