WHO team in Wuhan begin long-delayed coronavirus investigation after clearing quarantine
A team of World Health Organization (WHO) investigators examining the origins of the coronavirus pandemic left their hotel in the Chinese city of Wuhan on Thursday afternoon, after completing a two-week quarantine.

The team was waved on its way by hotel staff and Chinese officials.
