「双语」例行记者会/RegularPressConference（2021-5-24）(10)

赵立坚：关于第一个问题，中国科学院武汉病毒研究所已于今年3月23日发布了相关声明。声明表示，2019年12月30日之前，武汉病毒研究所未接触过2019新型冠状病毒，迄今为止，该所职工和研究生保持新型冠状病毒“零感染”。
Zhao Lijian: Regarding your first question, the Wuhan Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of sciences has issued a statement on March 23. According to the statement, the Wuhan Institute of Virology had not been exposed to COVID-19 before December 30, 2019, and a "zero-infection" record is kept among its staff and graduate students so far.
今年1月，中国—世卫组织联合专家组考察了湖北省疾控中心、武汉市疾控中心、武汉病毒研究所等机构，参观了各类生物安全实验室，与相关机构专家进行了深入、坦诚的科学交流。经过在中国的实地走访和深入了解，专家组一致认为，关于中国实验室事件引发病毒这种假说是极为不可能的。国际专家组成员达萨克接受美国媒体采访时表示，在“实验室泄露论”被高度政治化的背景下，专家组成员能与武汉病毒研究所权威专家深入交流，开放程度令人始料未及。专家组走访了所有想去的地方，见到了每一位想见的人，访问效果非常圆满。
This January, the China-WHO joint mission made field trips to institutions including the Hubei Provincial Center for Disease Control, the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and visited biosafety laboratories and had in-depth and candid exchanges with experts there. Through these field trips and in-depth visits, members of the mission unanimously agreed that the hypothesis of lab leaking is extremely unlikely. Member of the joint mission Peter Daszak said during an interview with American media that they were able to have in-depth exchanges with authoritative experts in the Wuhan Institute of Virology with a level of openness even he hadn"t anticipated, when the claim of lab leaking was politicized on a global scale. The experts went to every place they asked to see, and met everyone they wanted to meet. The visit has been a great success.
