Origin of Corona Virus in Wuhan?

Scientists suspect that the virus may have entered human bodies through bats or other animals in the southwest of China. Since 2019, 1.9 million people have died due to the virus. There are complaints that the ruling Communist Party allowed the disease to spread. China says the virus came from abroad, presumably on imported seafood, but scientists reject this argument.

The WHO team includes viruses and other experts from the United States, Australia, Germany, Japan, Britain, Russia, the Netherlands, Qatar and Vietnam. A government spokesperson said that this week they would 'exchange ideas' with Chinese scientists, but did not give any indication as to whether they would be allowed to collect evidence. According to the post on Weibo account, he will undergo a two-week quarantine as well as a throat swab test and an antibody test for covid-19.
