No evidence of 'large outbreaks' in Wuhan before December 2019: WHO

Description

The WHO mission to China to uncover the origins of the coronavirus has failed to identify the animal source, but said there was no indication the sickness was in circulation in Wuhan before December 2019 when the first official cases were recorded. WHO foreign expert Ben Embarek, who was based in the WHO's Beijing office for two years from 2009, backs up the Chinese side's assertion saying there was no evidence of "large outbreaks in Wuhan" before then.
