Unfortunately, the coronavirus is the source of a lot of fake news, but also of conspiracy theories, as the Ministry of Health calls them, and below it makes some clarifications regarding one of these theories that has scared quite a few people from all over the world.
The Ministry of Health speaks below about the probable origin of the new Coronavirus, and this is because so far all kinds of information have appeared regarding what led to its appearance, and rather than believing the lies on WhatsApp or Facebook, you better believe the authorities.
"The genetic analysis of the coronavirus shows that its likely origin is a bat species from China. The pangolin (anteater) is the intermediate host between bats and humans. There is no other scientifically valid theory about the origin of the new virus.
There are similarities between various structural components of the novel coronavirus and several other viruses (including HIV). But these similarities are ordinary and do not indicate that the virus was created in a laboratory.
Conspiracy theories harm health! Hygiene and precaution, no."
