　　In this regard, Maria Van Kokhov, the technical director of the WHO Health Emergency Project, also said that based on previous research experience on pathogens transmitted from animals to humans, it takes a certain amount of time to determine the animal source and intermediate host, and it needs to be very detailed. Investigation.

If the source and intermediate host are not known, it may spread to humans again.

Russia and Iran plan to cooperate to produce vaccines

　　Britain or launch vaccine "human challenge test"

　　Currently, the global new crown vaccine research and development is in full swing.

As the first country in the world to register a vaccine, Russia's new crown vaccine has attracted much attention.

The number of new diagnoses in Europe is worrying

　　The growth rate of confirmed cases in India hardly slows down

　　Recently, the epidemic situation in Europe has repeatedly occurred. Spain has added more than 10,000 new cases for several consecutive days, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases has exceeded 700,000; France’s daily increase in the number of confirmed cases has reached a new high, with a cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeding 500,000.

　　Recently, the number of confirmed cases in Israel, the UAE and Lebanon has increased significantly.

In order to contain the epidemic, Israel began to implement stricter and comprehensive "cities lockdown" measures in the country from 14:00 on the 25th, and related measures will last for two weeks.
