Experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) are expected to start their search for the beginnings of the new coronavirus when they arrive in China this week. China’s National Health Commission made the announcement in a one-sentence statement Monday. The experts will arrive on Thursday and meet with Chinese officials. No additional details were made available. It remains unclear whether the experts will travel to the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the coronavirus was first found in late 2019. Negotiations for the visit have taken a long time. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed concern last week over delays. He said members of the international scientific team had already left their home countries. The trip was part of an agreement between the WHO and the Chinese government.
