The expert panel from the World Health Organization (WHO), on a mission to conduct scientific research on the novel coronavirus together with Chinese experts, will finish their COVID-19 quarantine at a hotel in the central China city of Wuhan on Thursday.
According to one of the WHO experts, they have been communicating with Chinese scientists via video meetings over the past two weeks. The two sides will soon conduct joint fieldwork in days.
