The WHO = World Health Organization's international research team visiting Wuhan, China, visited a local government-affiliated organization in charge of infection control on the 1st to clarify the source of the new coronavirus. It seems that the interview was conducted.
The WHO research team, which is made up of experts from various countries including Japan, started a full-scale field survey in Wuhan on the 29th of last month, and many patients have been treated at hospitals that have dealt with patients and in the early stages of infection spread. We are inspecting the confirmed seafood market.
On the morning of the 1st, it is probable that he visited the "Hubei Provincial Disease Prevention Control Center" in charge of infection control in Hubei Province, where Wuhan is located, and heard from the people concerned about the measures taken at the time when the infection spread.
On the other hand, in the field survey up to 31st last month, we also visited facilities that convey the contents in line with the claims of the Chinese government, such as the venue of an exhibition that advertises that it succeeded in containing the infection under the guidance of the Chinese Communist Party. Time is being spent.
The Chinese side seems to be aiming to appeal the legitimacy of the series of responses while the international community has pointed out the delay in the initial response.
The research team is scheduled to stay in Wuhan until the 11th of this month, and the focus is on the Chinese side as to whether sufficient research can be conducted on the source.
