Both Chinese & external expert groups are trying to identify the animal source of 2019-nCoV. Identifying it would help to ensure that there will be no further similar outbreaks & will also help to understand the initial spread of #COVID19 in the Wuhan area, 🇨🇳

It seems China's clinical trials may not have generated enough data to tell the world if repurposed drugs work against #Covid19. World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a multi-arm, multi-country trial to fill this critical knowledge gap. statnews.com/2020/03/18/who…
