Daily Mail: China 'refused to give WHO scientists raw data on the first 174 Covid cases identified in Wuhan, hampering probe into origins of the pandemic' 

 * A WHO team has been in China for a month-long Covid-19 fact-finding mission 

 * But a lack of data potentially complicated efforts to learn how outbreak began 

 * The team had requested raw patient data on the 174 cases of COVID-19 

 * However, they were only provided with summaries said Dominic Dwyer, an Australian infectious diseases expert who is a member of the team 

 * His comments come a day after WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the theory Covid-19 originated from a Wuhan lab remains 'open'
