'(31 Jan 2021) Members of the WHO mission team in China investigating the origins of the coronavirus pandemic visited a market on Sunday known to be the distribution centre for food to the entire city of Wuhan during the 76-day lockdown last year. The experts were seen surrounded by a large entourage of Chinese officials and representatives as they walked through sections of the Baishazhou market. The team, with expertise in veterinarian, virology, food safety and epidemiology, have already visited two hospitals that were centres of the early outbreak: Jinyintan Hospital and the Hubei Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital. On Saturday they also visited a museum exhibition dedicated to the early history of COVID-19. WHO, which is based in Geneva, Switzerland, said on Twitter that its team plans to visit hospitals, markets like the Huanan Seafood Market linked to many of the first cases, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and laboratories at facilities like the Wuhan Center for Disease Control.
