However, some experts speculate that a virus captured from the wild could have figured in lab experiments to test the risks of a human spillover and then escaped via an infected staff member.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery interesting. Many questions,\u201d Thea Fischer, a Danish member of the team, called from her car as it sped away from the lab following Wednesday\u2019s visit, in response to a question whether the team had found anything.<\/p>\n<p>Some scientists have called for China to release details of all coronavirus samples studied at the lab, to see which most closely resembles SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the respiratory disease.<\/p>\n<p>The WHO, which has sought to manage expectations for the Wuhan mission, has said its members would be limited to visits organised by their Chinese hosts and have no contact with community members, because of health restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>While the novel coronavirus that sparked the pandemic was first identified in Wuhan, Beijing has sought to cast doubt on the notion that it originated in China, pointing to imported frozen food as a possible conduit.<\/p>\n<p>The team will spend two weeks conducting field work after having completed two weeks in hotel quarantine after arrival in Wuhan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team of investigators led by the\u00a0World Health Organization\u00a0visited a virus research laboratory in
