Former director of the Center for Control and Prevention of US Diseases, Robert Redfield put forward a new version of the origin of COVID-19, stating that the virus appeared in the laboratory of the Chinese city of Wuhan. He told about this CNN TV channel.
“Now I still adhere to the point of view that the most likely source of this pathogen in Uhana was the laboratory, from where he broke out,” the scientist said. In his opinion, the virus began to spread in September 2020, but the TV channel notes that this version contradicts the statements of the World Health Organization (WHO) previously sounded.
WHO WHO Mission Leader Peter Ben Embarek, who worked in Uhana, noted that the COVID-19 Laboratory Descent version is unlikely. The most likely scenario of the coronavirus pandemic, he considers the transfer to people from the initial source of the virus through an intermediary or direct transmission to people from the media of the virus.
Earlier, the World Health Organization’s specialists stated that they consider the new version of the origin of the coronavirus. They believe that the initial carriers are bats, and he passed to people through the Himalayan cywes.
