The World Health Organization called for anticipation of the worst in the absence of international solidarity after the death of more than 500 thousand people due to the Corona virus.
According to the statement, the organisation's Director-General, Tedros Adanum Gebresos, stated in an online press conference that we will be able to better fight the virus when we know everything about the virus, including How it started.
"We will send a team next week to China to prepare for this and we hope that this will allow us to understand how the virus started and what we can do in the future to be ready," he said.
Six months after China formally announced the outbreak of the disease in December in Wuhan, Corona has claimed more than 500,000 people worldwide. Over ten million people have been injured, about half of whom have recovered.
The work of researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan demonstrated that the sequence of new Corona virus genes is 80% similar to the sequence of SARS genes that also caused a pandemic in 2002 and 2003, and by 96% of the corona virus sequences found in bats.
Most researchers agree that the new Corona virus, SARS-Cove-2, probably originated in bats, but scientists believe it passed through another species of animal. It is still unknown before being transferred to humans.
Scientists in the world as well as the World Health Organization hope to find this missing link in order to better understand what happened, to be able to avoid a new epidemic.
The debate over the source of the virus also has diplomatic implications, as the United States accuses the Chinese laboratory in Wuhan of being the source of the virus, which Beijing denies.
"It will be six months since the World Health Organization received the first reports of a group of idiopathic pneumonia cases in China," said the WHO director-general tomorrow.
"Six months ago, no one of us could have imagined how our world and our lives would be transformed by this new virus.
"We all want it to end," said the director of the organization. But the difficult reality is that it is far from its end, repeating that the epidemic is accelerating at the present time.
"He continued, we have already lost many things, but we do not want to lose hope.
