The World Health Organization-led team investigating the origins of COVID-19 during a mission that has been tightly-controlled by its Chinese hosts visited a hospital on Saturday in the central city of Wuhan that treated early patients.
On its second day after two weeks in quarantine, the team went to Jinyintan Hospital, where doctors had collected samples from patients suffering from an unidentified pneumonia in late 2019.
“Important opportunity to talk directly w/ medics who were on the ground at that critical time fighting COVID!”, team member Peter Daszak said on Twitter.
