The World Health Organization’s emergencies Dr. Michael Ryan says it is “unrealistic” to expect a larger team to arrive in China this month, to investigate the animal origins of the coronavirus. As quoted by APNews.com (18/07), last week, two WHO staffers flew to Beijing as part of an advance team to plan more studies into how COVID-19 first emerged. Experts believe the virus most likely moved to humans from animals. The investigation aims to prevent future outbreaks. Michael Ryan says WHO was trying to put together a bigger team to visit China but doubted it would happen soon. WHO’s two experts are quarantined in a Beijing hotel. The U.N. health agency says there are no plans for them to visit Wuhan, where the outbreak was first detected late last year//APNews
