A team of French scientists and doctors has claimed that the first case of corona virus in Europe did not occur in January. It came two months before that but doctors could not understand the disease and its symptoms at that time. If this claim proves to be true, the world's attention may shift from China and Wuhan to France.

Of these, only two reported confirmation of coronavirus infection. At the time, however, doctors did not know the cause of the disease and its symptoms, so it was not recorded.

Michael Schmidt, a doctor at Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Colmar, and his team have claimed that the claims that have so far been considered zero in European countries could be disproved.

The Chinese government reported the corona infection to the world on December 31, 2019, but the news of the corona infection was confirmed on January 7, 2020. US intelligence agencies had claimed that the corona virus had spread in Wuhan in November.

Dr. Vin Gupta, a pulmonologist at the University of Washington, said that he had read Dr. Schmidt's report. The symptoms of the early corona virus may have been similar to those seen in X-rays of two patients before China.
