a team of experts from the World Health Organization have now left quarantine in Wuhan to begin their research into the origins off.

Covic, 19, is not yet clear when and where the investigation will start, nor what authorities will allow them to see.

H O says the focus off the visit will be on how the virus jumped from animals to humans in the central Chinese city, where the first cluster of virus cases emerged.

Uh oh, our China correspondent Metiers building is covering the story for US materials.

O officials now investigate freely in Wuhan?

Well, that's of course, the big question.

So far, China has not shown ah lot off willingness to open to to accept an open investigation that this mission has.

Bean there have bean along diplomatic battle behind the scenes in order to allow this mission on foreign governments who have demanded such an investigation at an earlier stage.

Most notably, the Australian government have drawn the ire off Beijing on duh demand from the Australian government for an open investigation into the origins has been met with a new import ban on Australian products.

They had to quarantine for two weeks and then out of quarantine.

They plan to meet with people who have been working at the market, where the outbreak has bean registered first, or when the first cluster emerged on with doctors medical personnel whom they will be able to see aunt.

How much these people will be allowed to tell them is not clear yet.

The idea is that if you go back to the first cases, and if you find out, maybe cases that have not Bean reported as covert cases yet cases that have emerged before the end of December last year maybe when Cove it was identified, when the virus was I identified, or when it was identified that there is a coronavirus that is causing these infections.

If you talk to these people where they have bean, you might get a clue how the virus jumped from animals, most likely bats.

That's at least the most common high positive hypothesis, um, to humans on duh.

But there's very little hope that this will can be done quickly.

The W H O itself has dampened expectations that they will come up with a solution or with, uh to this inquiry, knowing how the virus exactly emerged.

By the end off this mission, this might take years.

Uh, Metiers, the Chinese New Year is upon upon us, and there's a lot of travel activity around, uh, this occasion, of course.

How will China prevent the spread off the virus there?

There's going to be a lot less travel than in other years.

There's no countrywide travel ban, but there are a lot off restrictions in in several places, some villages.

Some regions have said that everybody who will arrive from from from outside off the region will have to Quarantine companies have warned their employees not to travel home on do the, uh, all the flight tickets and train tickets can be re funded if people cancel their trips.

So the expectations at the moment is that there will be, uh, make up to two thirds less trips than in usual years.

 But here's building on their reporting from Beijing.
