Beijing: Prior to the WHO investigation into where the coronavirus originated, China claimed on Friday that the first case of Covid-19 in Wuhan did not mean the infection. Started in this city of China. Several media outlets controlled by the Chinese government have recently reported that coronaviruses were found on packets of food imported from abroad. China had claimed that coronavirus was also found on the packet of marine fish from India.
It was alleged that the virus may have come to China through these packets from abroad. Asked if this is China’s official stance, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a news conference: It all started in China. ” “Therefore, we believe that where the virus originated is a complex scientific issue for which the scientific community around the world should cooperate,” he said. Only then can we reduce the risks in the future, as detecting the onset of infection is a complex process and involves many countries. ”
A team from the World Health Organization (WHO) is coming to China to find out where the coronavirus originated from. However, Beijing has not yet commented on the timing. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly targeted China, calling Covid-19 a “Chinese virus”. WHO emergency specialist Dr. Mike Ryan told the media this week that his organization had received assurances from China that arrangements would be made when it came to detecting the onset of the coronavirus. The first case of coronavirus was reported in Wuhan, China in December last year and more than 1.4 million people have died worldwide since then.
