The report stems from a Member Stateresolution adopted by consensus at the World Health Assembly in May 2020 and calling on WHO “to identify the zoonotic source of the virus and the route of introduction to the human population, including the possible role of intermediate hosts, including through efforts such as scientific and collaborative field missions.”

7503
他在今天对会员国讲话中，感谢国际专家组做出的不懈努力。
He said it advances our understanding in important ways, while raising questions that will need to be addressed by further studies, as noted in the report.
7504
他说，正如报告指出的那样，这显著加深了我们的认识，同时也提出了一些需要进一步研究解决的问题。
“As far as WHO is concerned, all hypotheses remain on the table.
7505
他指出，“就世卫组织而言，不排除任何假设。
This report is a very importantbeginning, but it is not the end.
7506
这份报告是非常重要的开端，而不是结束。
We have not yet found the source of the virus, and we must continue to follow the science and leave no stone unturned as we do,” said Dr Tedros.
7507
我们还没有找到病毒来源。
“Finding the origin of a virus takes time and we owe it to the world to find the source so we can collectively take steps to reduce the risk of this happening again.
7508
我们必须以科学为准绳，不遗余力地开展工作。
No single research trip can provide all the answers.”
