Beijing, May 24 (beraking latest news Health) – China has denied reports reported by the ‘Wall Street Journal’ that 3 scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were hospitalized in November 2019 after contracting the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The Chinese ‘Global Times’ spoke of an “absolute lie” citing the director of the Wuhan institute, Yuan Zhiming, while the spokesman for the Beijing Foreign Ministry, Zhao Lijian, spoke of “untrue report” at a press conference. According to China, these are conspiracy theories put in place to divert public attention from the American handling of the pandemic.
The WSJ, for its part, said it relied on a US intelligence report drawn up in the last days of the Trump administration. Based on the mission conducted in China between the end of January and the beginning of February, the World Health Organization had defined the thesis that Covid-19 had come out of a Chinese laboratory “extremely unlikely”. But now the WHO is ready to make additional resources available, if useful for clarity.
