SARS-CoV-2 Lab Infection Confirmed in Beijing

Confirmation that a lab worker in China was infected with SARS-CoV-2 long before the virus became a concern in the U.S. is in documents obtained by U.S. Right to Know through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

A series of emails from February 2020 expresses concerns about other labs wanting samples of the virus, and that lab-acquired infections not only were possible, but had already occurred.

Even so, the email exchange indicates that health officials were insistent on keeping the revelation at bay, and that they should remain “neutral” on bio safety ethic issues.
