Where did Covid virus come from? New studies reveal pandemic's controversial origins

coronavirus pandemic originated in a Wuhan, China market where live animals were sold, “further bolstering the theory that the virus emerged in the wild rather than escaping from a Chinese lab," according to AP report. The latest research, published by the journal Science, reportedly reveals that the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market was “likely the early epicentre of the scourge that killed nearly 6.4 million people around the world." As per the report, scientists have concluded that the virus that was responsible for causing Covid-19, SARS-CoV-2, likely “spilled from animals into people two separate times." Kristian Andersen a professor in the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at Scripps Research and coauthor of one of the studies said, “all this evidence tells us the same thing: It points right to this particular market in the middle of Wuhan.

The Ministry of Health and Ontario Health are actively engaging with Health Canada, suppliers, distributors and manufacturers across Ontario to understand the current situation and supply forecasts in order to mitigate any potential impact to patients,” a spokesperson for the ministry told Global News in a statement.The shortage is due to a supply chain issue from one component of the epidural catheter kit.
