Coronavirus came from Wuhan market and not Chinese lab, twin studies say

Two studies released by scientists but yet to be published in journals say virus did not emerge from Wuhan Institute of Virology

International scientists on Saturday released two major studies which one participant said made it extraordinarily clear" a market in Wuhan, China was the source of the coronavirus which fueled the Covid-19 pandemic - and not a Chinese government laboratory, a theory championed in the US by rightwing campaigners, columnists and politicians.

The question of where Covid-19 came from and how it spread has proved divisive.
