The coronavirus most likely first infected humans after jumping from an animal, a team of international and Chinese scientists said Tuesday. A team of World Health Organization (WHO) experts recently completed their closely watched visit to Wuhan. The Chinese city is where the first cases of the new coronavirus were discovered. Peter Ben Embarek led the WHO investigation. He said the team’s four-week visit did not result in major changes to the current understanding of the early days of the pandemic. But the visit did “add details to that story,” Embarek noted. It also led the joint Chinese-WHO team to dismiss the theory that the virus escaped from a laboratory.
