Embarek, one of the WHO experts who visited Wuhan, China, believed to be the starting point of the epidemic, said in a statement to CNN television: “The virus spread in Wuhan in December (2019), this is a new find. “
Embarek said that in December 2019 they estimated that the virus may have infected at least a thousand more people, in addition to those detected in Wuhan. Embarek said they have gathered evidence that the epidemic in the region is bigger than previously thought.
Embarek said the delegation met the first person caught with Covid-19 in Wuhan on December 8, 2019 and stated that Chinese scientists presented 174 case examples to the WHO delegation.
13 DIFFERENT GENETIC SERIES OF SARS-COV-2 COLLECTED

Embarek also asked for immediate access to hundreds of thousands of blood samples that China has so far not allowed to examine.
