SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A global team of scientists led by the World Health Organisation to investigate the origins of the novel coronavirus will spend around a month in the Chinese city of Wuhan, including two weeks in quarantine, a team member said on Wednesday.

Hung Nguyen, a Vietnamese biologist, told Reuters that he did not expect any restrictions to the 10-member team's work in China as they prepared to fly on Thursday from Singapore to Wuhan, where the first human cases were detected in late 2019.
