CHINA-HEALTH: W.H.O. TEAM TO INVESTIGATE CORONAVIRUS ARRIVES IN CHINA

13 members of the 15-member W.H.O. team arrived in Wuhan, China on January 14.  Two members of the WHO team have been denied entry into China after testing positive for coronavirus antibodies. They will start investigating the source of the coronavirus after a 2 week quarantine. Meanwhile, China is panicked about the outbreak of a second potentially more serious round of the coronavirus outbreak in Hebei province with Caixin reporting that China recorded its highest number of new Covid-19 infections in more than 10 months on January 14, and also had its first Covid-19 death since May. Demand for travel tickets ahead of next month’s Lunar New Year, China’s biggest national holiday, seemed to slump after officials urged people to avoid nonessential travel in a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
