“The result suggests that the novel coronavirus outbreak is highly relevant to the trading of wild animals,” the CDC said

Tests have confirmed that the current coronavirus outbreak did start at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, as suspected.
Experts from the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have said the virus was first caught by humans from animals at the food market, where everything from snakes, rats, beavers, wolf cubs and even koalas were reportedly on sale.
This is a price list reportedly from the Huanan Seafood Market and one of the items is said to be ‘koala’ or ‘live tree bears’
As reported by state-owned Xinhua news agency, the CDC said: “Thirty-one of the 33 positive samples were collected from the western zone of the market, where booths of wildlife trading concentrated.
“The result suggests that the novel coronavirus outbreak is highly relevant to the trading of wild animals.”
Gao Fu, director of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, had previously blamed the site for the killer illness, saying: “The origin of the new coronavirus is the wildlife sold illegally in a Wuhan seafood market.”
He added that it was clear ‘this virus is adapting and mutating’.
