Experts conducted a study to find out where the COVID-19 outbreak was located.
It turned out that the original source of the coronavirus infection was a market in Wuhan.
Florence Debarre, a leading researcher at the Paris Institute of Ecology and Natural Sciences, and her colleagues shared the results of their study in the scientific journal Cell .
Biologists from China, the United States and France studied fragments of the genomes of the Wuhan coronavirus and found that the source of the pandemic was the Wuhan market.
Irrefutable evidence was found on the counters and in the stalls that sick animals had been kept there.
In particular, raccoon dogs, rabbits and bamboo rats were kept here - those types of mammals that are capable of becoming infected with the coronavirus infection and then spreading it further.
Let us recall that before this, the original source of the disease, which took more than 7 million lives worldwide, was considered to be an exotic food market.
However, a new study has revealed that the source of the disease was the market.
