Initially, they didn't want to take anything about the NCOV hypothesis leaking from the laboratory to the report, because they think this is unlikely to happen, so there is no need to waste time in it, Ben Embarek

Peter Ben Embarek, Head of the WHO investigation delegation, raised the map of NCOV contamination in a press conference in Wuhan, China, on February 9.

In the announcement report at the beginning of the year, the WHO and China investigation delegation said it was difficult to have the ability to unknowingly NCOV leaked from the Virus Institute of Wuhan or another laboratory in the city where CA COVID records

After the discussion lasted before the end of the mission, Ben Embarek said the Chinese side author finally agreed to put leakage hypotheses from the laboratory into the report on the condition that we did not recommend any further recommendation

When asked to be extremely unlikely in the report is required by the Chinese side, Ben Embarek said that it is the item that we choose to put in the end, but he added this is not impossible

Ben Embarek also added a similar scenario, in which the laboratory staff accidentally carries the virus to Wuhan after collecting samples in the scene, can also be considered a leaked hypothesis from the laboratory.

Ben Embarek led the group of international scientists to China in January to work with Wuhan officials about pandemic origin, but the trip was controversial from the beginning.

Beijing delayed the investigation of the WHO delegation, repels the time the team is present, while some international experts in the group are criticized for studying with research with China.

Upon arrival, the WHO delegation has only two weeks at the scene to conduct research and forced to follow many strict quarantine processes.

Other small scenarios include viruses that are imported into China through frozen foods, the hypothesis that the Chinese government repeats many times but has many international experts.

Ben Embarek and scientists in the group refers to great pressure from all sides during the journey.

Politics is always in the room with us on the other side of the desk, he said in the interview in February with Science magazine.

In the announcement on August 12 on the next stages of the Covid-19 pandemic origin investigation, WHO emphasized the finding of the first type of virus was discovered in Wuhan City, Central China

WHO also said China and some other UN member states have submitted a document to the organization, questioning the basis for further learning about the pandemic origin hypothesis related to laboratories

To resolve 'laboratory hypothesis', it is important to have access to all data, consider the best scientific methods and the mechanism that the WHO has applied.

The study by WHO was only part of the ongoing Covid-19 origin surveys.
