The World Health Organization (WHO) released its report on the origins of the coronavirus Tuesday, with the research team listing introduction through an intermediary host followed by zoonotic transmission as “likely to very likely” the root of initial spread, and introduction through a laboratory incident as “extremely unlikely.”
"SARS-CoV-2 adapts relatively rapidly in susceptible animals (such as mink," the report stated. "The increasing number of animals shown to be susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 includes animals that are farmed in sufficient densities to allow potential for enzootic circulation." The team called for more research into supply chains from wildlife farms and studies involving neighboring regions.More Related News
