A team of researchers sponsored by the WHO wrapped up their six-week investigation in Wuhan, concluding in a preliminary report that the novel coronavirus had not been transmitted in humans prior to December 2019 and that it was “extremely unlikely�...

The head of the World Health Organization said all theories on the coronavirus origins need more investigation, just days after the leader of the WHO team in China dismissed the need for further study of the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis.
