New sequences of the SARS-CoV-2 virus show that animals susceptible to the coronavirus were present in the Wuhan market and may have been infected

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.

The UN agency has previously said that all hypotheses for COVID-19′s origins remain on the table, including that the virus emerged from a high-security laboratory in Wuhan that studies dangerous pathogens.
