'This is not an easy virus and not an easy virus, either, to detect. It’s not an easy virus to stop,' said Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Programme

COVID-19 is proving exceptionally difficult to stop, and it is important to identify where the human-animal barrier was breached, Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Programme, said during a news conference in Geneva on Monday.

“This is not an easy virus and not an easy virus, either, to detect. It’s not an easy virus to stop,” he said. An epidemiologic investigation will start in Wuhan, because that’s where the first clusters of cases were picked up, he said, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that is where Case Zero was, according to Ryan.
