The expert report, ‘very likely transmission of viruses to humans from intermediate animals’
Geneva, March 29 (beraking latest news Salute) – The transmission of Covid-19 to humans by an intermediate animal is a hypothesis considered “from probable to very probable”, therefore the hypothesis of the laboratory accident is considered “extremely unlikely”. These are the conclusions – anticipated by various international media – of the joint study carried out by experts from the World Health Organization who went on a mission to Wuhan and by Chinese scientists on the origin of the coronavirus.
The report by WHO experts, who according to various critics did not have sufficient freedom of action in their mission to China, confirms the first conclusions presented on 8 February.
The document favors the theory of the natural transmission of the virus from a reservoir animal, probably the bat, to man, through another animal that has not yet been identified. In the report, direct transmission of the virus through the reservoir animal is however considered “possible to probable”. Furthermore, experts have not ruled out the hypothesis of transmission through frozen meat – the theory favored by the Beijing authorities – considering this scenario “possible”.
