What did it say about the Huanan market? Many of the early cases of the novel coronavirus in late 2019 were linked to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, in a densely populated part of Wuhan. The WHO-led team visited the market in February and analyzed the data on early cases to consider whether they had a link to the market. “No firm conclusion therefore about the role of the Huanan Market can be drawn,” the authors wrote. The report also noted there were 92 cases of patients with covid-19-like symptoms in October 2019, two months before any confirmed infection.
