A university in Italy says they have found evidence a four-year-old boy from Milan contracted coronavirus a month before the first recorded case in Wuhan.
Researchers at the University of Milan suggest the boy may be the first known source as they are confident he contracted the virus at the end of November 2019 despite Italy announcing its first lab identified case in February of 2020.
The head of the program believes the newly identified case could explain the trajectory of Italy’s coronavirus outbreak.
