WHO: All hypotheses about the origin of Covid-19 remain relevant

The World Health Organization still does not celebrate any of the hypotheses about the origin of the coronavirus infection Covid-19.

This was stated on Friday to reporters, the head of the near Tedros Gebreisus. “Questions arose regarding the fact that some hypotheses were discarded. I want to confirm that all versions remain open for further analysis and study,” said Gebbeisus, citing conversations with WHO experts aimed at China.

Earlier this week, a mission led in China said that she considers the assumption of the laboratory origin of the virus extremely unlikely, so she does not consider it anymore. The experts called the main hypotheses those associated with the origin of the virus from the bat and its possible transfer to a person through another type of animal.

“We always said that this mission will not find all the answers, but it will add important information to that we become closer to understanding the origin of the coronavirus causing Covid-19,” said Gebbeisus.

The United States said that they will study the conclusions presented by WHO experts.

The previous American administration of President Donald Trump did not exclude that the coronavirus of a new type could spread from the laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuan . The PRC authorities have always categorically denied this, emphasizing that the Utan Institute of Virology does not study related viruses.
