Filippa Lentzos, a senior research fellow at the King's College London, is one of the international scientists who called for a fresh investigation into the origins of the novel coronavirus, naming the mission that the World Health Organisation recently completed in Wuhan a study and not a probe. In an interview with N1, Lentzos said the WHO/China team that was involved in the mission offered somewhat conflicting information.

Dozens of scientists, including Lentzos, who signed an open letter calling for further investigation say that both theories, whether it was a natural spillover or a lab-related incident, must be considered a possibility and need to be investigated.

According to her, there was no sufficient access to get the necessary information for a credible investigation.

And finally, Dr Lentzos said, the team working on this problem must include scientists of other expertise, not only epidemiologists and geneticists.
