In a major development, a report by Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has cited a previously undisclosed United States (US) intelligence report and shared that three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) had sought hospital care months before China had officially disclosed the COVID-19 disease.

WSJ said that the intelligence report provided fresh details about the number of researchers who were affected, the timings of their illnesses, and their hospital visits.

This gains significance as the WSJ report came out on the eve of a meeting of the World Health Organisation (WHO)’s decision-making body which is expected to discuss the next phase of investigation into the origination of COVID-19.

It should be noted that nations like the US, the UK, Norway and Canada et cetera had in bygone March expressed concerns about WHO-led investigations into the origination of COVID-19. They had then called for further investigation and full access to all pertinent human, animal, and other data about the early stage of the outbreak.

It had also been said earlier that China had refused to give raw data on early COVID-19 cases to the WHO-led team which is pursuing the investigation.
