Several European news outlets recently reported that coronavirus may have already ravaged Italy months earlier than China’s first confirmed case.
Italy’s THE LOCAL reported on July 20 that a study by the National Cancer Institute (INT) in Milan suggests that “coronavirus may have been spreading in Italy as early as September 2019.” It says that researchers at INT retested blood samples from late 2019 and found the presence of antibodies normally seen after COVID infection.
In the article, Giovanni Apolone, one of the researchers, said, “the results of this retesting suggest that what we previously reported in asymptomatic patients is a plausible signal of early circulation of the virus in Italy.”
The article also mentioned, “the first known coronavirus case was in Wuhan in December 2019, but studies have since detected circulation of the virus in Europe as early as November 2019, including in Milan.”
There is another study by researchers from University of Milan which “detected traces of the infection in skin cells from a 25-year-old woman who had a biopsy for an unusual skin condition on November 10th, 2019.” The woman was tested “positive for COVID-19 antibodies in her blood” months later.
Moreover, studies of waster water in Italy seems to demonstrate that “the virus was cirulating in December in parts of northern Italy.”
Besides Italian media THE LOCAL, French media Marseille News, UK media The Telegraph and Financial Times also reported the researches in Italy.
