Italy’s search for first COVID case
CGTN Europe • 1m 55s
Researchers in Italy want to carry out further retrospective COVID-19 tests after a four-year-old boy was found to have contracted the virus in November 2019.
His sample was one of a number of unresolved cases that were then re-tested for COVID-19 at the University of Milan. Out of the 39 samples studied, his was positive.
