China rejects WHO access to BAT CAVES in search for Covid origins (Report)
China has reportedly denied the World Health Organization access to bat caves and wildlife farming areas in a region six hours west of Wuhan — as it emerged that nearby wet markets were allegedly banned from selling live animals just days before Beijing acknowledged a new virus had been detected.
WHO scientists have been trying to access hundreds of caves that contain bats in Enshi prefecture in Hubei province, WAPO said Monday.
They also want to investigate nearby farming areas that, prior to the pandemic, were known to breed thousands of wild animals.
