China is open and willing to work with the World Health Organization (WHO), EcoHealth Alliance President Dr. Peter Daszak, an expert with the WHO team presently visiting central China's Wuhan City, told Sky News in an interview on Tuesday.

"I think China is open and willing to work with us, and we are seeing that every day," Dr. Daszak told the British broadcaster.

The international experts landed in Wuhan on January 14 and have been conducting field visits to places including local hospitals, markets and Wuhan Institute of Virology after a two-week quarantine. 

"We are seeing new information and it's good, it's very valuable stuff that is beginning to help us look at the right directions for this virus," Daszak said. 

According to him, the team has been able to "look around on our own and ask questions" in the market, meeting with market managers, vendors who worked there, and people from the community and asking them questions. 

"We are talking to people who collected samples from the floor of the market that then tested positive. That's the sort of information we are getting with the person that really matters," he said.

He added "they are sharing data with us that we have not seen before – that no one has seen before. They are talking with us openly about every possible pathway. We really are getting somewhere and I think every member of the team would say that. "
