According to French Broadcasting, official French data shows that the country’s first registered covid patients appeared on 24 January 2020. They were a couple from Wuhan and their relative but Dr. Cohen said that The hospital screened samples of patients admitted to the intensive care unit from 2 December 2019 to 16 January 2020 due to pneumonia, and found that one of 14 patients had positive results from the SARS-CoV-2 test twice. He said in December they did not yet know the existence of the virus. So the diagnosis of the virus during that time was influenza virus or other viruses .
He said that the 42-year-old patient was tested viral positive on 27 December 2019 . Did this prove that SARS-CoV-2 began to spread in France in December 2019?
Dr Cohen also said that the patient is now healed, but he himself does not know how he was infected. Although he has been ill for 15 days and infected his two children, he was in a fish stall in a supermarket in Paris. His wife who was working there has no covid symptoms.
Dr. Cohen said that the patient’s wife may be an asymptomatic patient, because there is a Japanese sushi restaurant next to her fish stall, and there are some Chinese employees in the restaurant, and the viral wife has many contacts with these Chinese employees. Cohen guessed that these Chinese employees may have been in contact with other covid patients.
Erik Volz, an epidemiologist at Imperial College in the UK, said his research shows that SARS-CoV-2 may have appeared in mainland China as early as November or December 2019.
