WHO: coronavirus could be transmitted to humans through bats from another animal

Scientists point out that the virus has been found in armadillos, minks and cats - these and other animals could have

transmit the virus to humans. The report indicates that very similar viruses were found in pangolins, but minks and cats are also susceptible to this infection, so they could also be carriers. 

According to the researchers, the spread of the virus through cold-chain foods is possible, but unlikely. 

WHO experts made all these conclusions after visiting the Chinese city of Wuhan, where COVID-19 was first detected. 

The version, according to which the pandemic is the result of a leak of material from the laboratory, is called unlikely by WHO and it is suggested not to investigate it.
