Study reveals China recorded first Covid-19 case in October 2019

A new study has revealed that SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing coronavirus disease, was first recorded in China between early October and mid-November. "The model suggests a likely timing of the first case of COVID-19 in China as of November 17," the study by researchers of Britain's University of Kent said. The study gives strength to the claim that the virus emerged in China much earlier than it reported.
