“This gives a completely new picture of everything,” Christian Lindemeyer, a spokesman for the world body, said in a statement to the United Nations in Geneva, referring to the French reports. “The results help to better understand the possible spread of the Covid-19 virus,” he added.
It was also considered that other early cases may appear from the re-examination of samples.
Additionally, Lindemeyer urged other countries to examine unidentified pneumonia case records in late 2019, saying this would give the world a “newer, clearer picture” of the outbreak.
Notably, a hospital in France reexamined samples from pneumonia patients who had concluded that they had treated a man who had Covid-19 disease on December 27, that is, approximately one month before the French government confirmed the first case in the country.
