The UN-assigned scientists warn that the quest into the roots of the Covid epidemic has come to a halt. The SARS-CoV-2 virus most likely crossed from bats to humans via an intermediary species, according to an early study by a team of independent scientists dispatched to china by the World health Organization in January.

The WHO has urged china to provide information on the early instances of Covid-19. This should include information on 174 illnesses discovered in december 2019 that china refused to provide throughout the inquiry. china rebuffed the WHO request earlier this month, claiming that the january probe was sufficient. According to the WHO, there is no need to wait for another expedition to china before diving into the numerous more research that is required there.

According to 11 of the 17 experts on a visit to China's wuhan virology laboratory, the quest for the origins of SARS-CoV-2 is at a "critical juncture." A rival theory that the virus escaped from a lab was dismissed as "very improbable." However, they stated that it was just meant to be a "first step in a delayed process." As evidence fades or becomes distorted, tracing the biological trail back to the illness's first pockets becomes increasingly difficult. The ailment first emerged in wuhan in late 2019.
