RESEARCHERS

In China, researchers isolated and deciphered the structure of the COVID-19 virus in late December 2019, at least two weeks before Beijing revealed details about the deadly virus to the world.

This was revealed exclusively by the Wall Street Journal, after reviewing documents that the US Department of Health received from a committee of the House of Representatives.

According to the WSJ, a Chinese researcher in Beijing uploaded an almost complete sequence of the structure of COVID to a database managed by the US government on December 28, 2019, while China only shared the sequence of the virus with the World Health Organization on January 11, 2020.

When researcher Lili Ren, of the Institute of Pathogen Biology in Beijing, mapped the structure of the virus, Chinese officials were still publicly describing the outbreak in Wuhan as a viral pneumonia "of unknown cause" and had not yet shut down the wholesale market. of live animals, which was the first focus of the outbreak of COVID-19.

The new information, the American newspaper specifies, does not shed light on the debate about whether the coronavirus spread after the infection of an animal or bird, or from a laboratory leak, but suggests that the world still does not have a full explanation of the origin of the pandemic.

But the extra two weeks could still prove crucial in helping the international medical community identify how COVID-19 spreads, develop medical defenses and start work on a potential vaccine, according to experts.

In late 2019, scientists and governments around the world were racing to understand the mysterious disease they would eventually call COVID-19, which would kill millions of people.
