After more than 106 million cases of coronavirus worldwide and 2.3 million deaths, a 12-day investigation by a World Health Organization team has shed little new light on the origins of the coronavirus that sparked a devastating pandemic.

In a news conference Tuesday in Wuhan, central China, the heads of the Chinese and WHO delegations said they were unable to conclude whether the virus had passed directly from animal to human or through an intermediary host.

They said the virus was “extremely unlikely” to have spread as the result of a lab accident, dispelling conspiracy theories about how the virus could’ve started.
