New report documents evidence the coronavirus was spreading in Wuhan as early as May 2019, and China knew about itA new report documented evidence that the coronavirus has been spreading in Wuhan as early as May 2019 and that the Chinese government knew about it.
The report — titled "Procuring for a Pandemic: An Assessment of Hubei Province PCR Procurement Contracts" — shows that the government in China was buying up testing related to the coronavirus much earlier than the officially recognized beginning of the pandemic.
The PCR-related procurement contracts are called the "gold standard" of the coronavirus testing, suggesting that China knew there was an outbreak of the coronavirus as early as May 2019.
"An initial view of the data depicts the dramatic increase of PCR procurement contracts in 2019," the report said. "The increase was present in both the contract total value and the number of contracts."
