Chinese Covid data from animal market gives clues on origins, says report

LONDON, March 21 — Data from the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, briefly uploaded to a global database by Chinese scientists, gives crucial information on the outbreak’s origins, including of an animal market in the Chinese city of Wuhan, researchers said.

The data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention is no longer available on the GISAID database where it was found by the scientists. “This adds to the body of evidence identifying the Huanan market as the spillover location of Sars-CoV-2 and the epicentre of the Covid-19 pandemic,” said the report.

WHO officials said last week that the information was not conclusive but did represent a new lead into the investigation into Covid’s origins, and should have been shared immediately.
