New study reinforces theory Covid emerged at Chinese market

A new study published in the journal Cell provides evidence supporting the theory that humans first contracted Covid-19 from infected animals at a Chinese market in late 2019.
Researchers analyzed over 800 swabs from the Huanan Seafood Market, finding more DNA from wild mammals than humans, suggesting a possible link to the virus.
Infectious disease epidemiologist James Wood stated the study "provides very strong evidence" indicating that the market was a hotspot for the pandemic's emergence.
