Origin of COVID-19 and it's spread around the world

A Question about the origin theory of COVID-19 “Sars-CoV2 or Novel Coronavirus”, the virus that has caused the pandemic in the Earth, and has got sensationalized since Donald Trump U.S. President raised allegations that it spread from a lab in China. The US-China ties are at stake due to such allegations by the US president.

According to scientists who have studied on this, the virus originated from an animal, and probably entered the human beings. One of the WHO Scientist suggested that Covid-19 comes from bats and can infect cats and ferrets, he also said further research is needs to be done to find out for any animal relation to the disease.

Origin of COVID-19 still a mystery

It’s still unclear which animal may have transmitted the disease to humans, or it is developed in the Wuhan Lab of China and transmitted to humans. SO, origins of COVID-19 still a mystery for scientists.

In the hope of identifying the original source of the virus, scientists are constantly working on research so that will help them to find a drug or vaccine for the treatment of COVID-19, Australian scientists are using high-performance computer modelling to study the virus’s ability with a target of 12 varieties of exotic and domestic animals.

How COVID-19 spread in humans

The virus might have spread in humans from the animals kept for food supply. It is still anonymous for scientists to determine which species caused the spread into the human body. Studies are showing that dogs are susceptible to Covid 19. Scientist said, adding that it’s important to find out which animals can get it to avoid creating a “reservoir” in another species.

The first human case of COVID-19 was detected in the Wuhan city of China in December 2019, where most people had contact with the animal market. By the end of December 2019 it got spread in Wuhan and Hubei Province of china.

According to updated WHO Timeline – COVID-19 on 27^th April 2020, the first case of novel coronavirus outside of China was recorded in the Thailand on 13^th January 2020. In USA, the first known case of COVID-19 was confirmed on 20^th Jan 2020 in the Pacific Northwest state of Washington in a man who had returned from Wuhan on 15 January.
