WUHAN, China—A World Health Organization (WHO) team looking into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic on Sunday visited the food market in the Chinese city of Wuhan that was reported to be linked to many early infections.

The team members visited the Huanan Seafood Market for about an hour in the afternoon, and one of them flashed a thumbs up sign when reporters asked how the trip was going.
