World Health Organization experts set to arrive in China for coronavirus origin probe
Experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) will soon arrive in China for a long-anticipated investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.
Key points:
- Negotiations for the visit have been underway for some time
- The WHO director-general last expressed disappointment over delays
- Australia led calls for an investigation into the origin of COVID-19
The experts will arrive on Thursday and meet with Chinese counterparts, China’s National Health Commission said in a one-sentence statement that gave no other details.
It was not immediately clear whether the experts would be travelling to the central Chinese city of Wuhan where coronavirus was first detected in late 2019.
Negotiations for the visit have long been underway.
