Washington: The Wall Street Journal has recently reported that three researchers of China’s infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) sought hospital care in November 2019 just before the Covid-19 pandemic. The report was published citing US Intelligence report.
As per the reports the matter came out during a meeting of the World Health Organization’s decision-making body, which expected to discuss the new phase of investigation into the origin of COVID-19.
The report also talks about details on the numbers of researcher affected, the timing of their illness, and also details about their hospital visits.
A National Security Council spokesperson did not comment on the report but said the Biden administration has questions about the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes the origin of the virus within the People’s Republic of China.
According to a US State Department fact sheet released by the Trump Administration in January mentions that the researchers had become sick in 2019 and had ‘symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illness.’.
It’s been nearly two years since the first reported case but sadly still the world doesn’t have concrete evidence of origin of COVID-19 virus.
The WHO report said that the possibility the virus came from a lab was ‘extremely unlikely’, there was ‘no record’ of any lab that had closely related viruses.
