Wuhan: A World Health Organization team has started looking into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. The team visited the food market of Wuhan on Sunday. The team went to the market from where food distribution center for the Chinese city of Wuhan during the 76-day lockdown last year.

The members were seen walking through one of the largest wet markets in Wuhan, Baishazhou market which is surrounded by a large entourage of Chinese officials and representatives.  The members also have visited two hospitals at the center of the early outbreak Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital and the Hubei Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital. They also visited a museum exhibition dedicated to the early history of the corona. The Geneva-based WHO said taking it to Twitter writing that the team plans to visit hospitals and markets like the Huanan Seafood Market, which was linked to many of the first cases last Thursday. China is seeking to avoid blame for alleged missteps in its early response to the outbreak which has become politically charged. The origin of the virus can't be confirmed just with one visit from the scientists. 

The one possibility that is estimated that a wildlife poacher might have passed the virus to traders who carried it to Wuhan. Also, the Chinese government has promoted theories, with little shreds of evidence, that the outbreak might have started with imports of frozen seafood tainted with the virus.
