Lab leak virus theory 'extremely unlikely' says WHO mission

Description

Experts from the WHO all but eliminate a controversial theory that Covid-19 came from a laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuhan. "The laboratory incident hypothesis is extremely unlikely to explain the introduction of the virus into the human population," says Peter Ben Embarek, the head of the WHO mission. "Therefore is not in the hypotheses that we will suggest for future studies." IMAGES
