Not December, first case of Covid-19 could have emerged as early as October 2019: Study

India Today  

The world first came to know about a mysterious outbreak in China on the New Year eve of 2020. Now, a new study claims that the virus that causes Covid-19 started spreading in China as early as October 2019, two months before it was first reported in Wuhan province. The first official case of Covid-19 reported in China was in December 2019, linked to Wuhan's Huanan seafood market. LAB LEAK THEORY CAN NOT BE RULED OUT The new study comes days after an analysis by Jesse Bloom of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, who recovered more than 200 data entries from the genetic sequencing of early cases of Covid-19 in Wuhan that had disappeared from the database. WATCH: 2020 US report claims Covid virus leaked from Wuhan lab A joint study by the World Health Organisation and China earlier had also acknowledged the chances of sporadic human infections before the Wuhan outbreak.
