Hópur sérfræðinga á vegum Alþjóðaheilbrigðismálastofnunarinnar kom til Wuhan í Kína í morgun til að rannsaka uppruna kórónuveirufaraldursins sem blossaði upp fyrir rúmu ári. Þeir verða fyrst í hálfs mánaðar sóttkví á hóteli áður en þeir geta hafið störf.

Kórónuveiran greindust fyrst í Wuhan undir lok árs 2019 og hefur síðan breiðst út um allan heim.

Hátt í 93 milljónir manna hafa greinst með veiruna síðan faraldurinn hófst, en nærri tvær milljónir manna hafa látist af völdum COVID-19.

Stjórnvöld í Kína greindu í morgun frá fyrsta dauðsfallinu þar í landi í átta mánuði af völdum COVID-19
