The team from the World Health Organization (WHO) investigating the origins of the Corona virus is now focusing on an Italian woman considered to be the first Corona patient.
It was reported that the 25 -year -old woman visited a hospital in Milan with complaints of sore throat and skin pain, in November 2019. Although the first introduction of Corona in Wuhan was only a month later.
Skin samples from women showed traces of coronavirus. Thus, there are indications that the Corona virus was already present in China or other countries before the first cluster occurred in Wuhan in December 2019.
However, no one knew the woman's identity. The Wall Street Journal reported that the hospital he visited had no identity information.
Raffaele Gianotti, the doctor who treated him, died in March before the WHO investigation was launched.
By searching for patients infected with the Corona virus before the outbreak in Wuhan, the researchers hope to find a chronology of the spread of the virus. The WHO team also asked blood banks in several countries to test samples from the end of 2019 to detect antibodies to the Corona virus.
Several studies concluded that it showed that several individuals had been infected with the Corona virus before the first incident unfolded in Wuhan. But women in Italy are among the most attractive.
The woman’s blood test in June 2020 showed that she was positive for Corona antibodies. The second test was also the same, but the third determinant test could not be carried out because the sample was already in poor condition.
“I was disappointed with one thing, that we couldn’t confirm it with a third test technique,” said Massimo Barberis, one of the mystery researchers.
So far, the search for the origin of the Corona virus and early patients suffering from the disease is still ongoing. As is known, there are two theories still being tested, whether the Corona virus leaked from the Wuhan lab or came from nature.
