https://nypost.com/2020/11/15/covid-19-may-have-been-in-italy-as-early-as-september-2019/ A new study has found that the coronavirus may have spread outside of China far earlier than previously thought. A study by the National Cancer Institute said the deadly virus appears to have been circulating in Milan last September — five months before Italy’s first COVID-19 patient was detected, and three months before the outbreak was reported in Wuhan, China. Italian researchers now report that 12 percent of 959 healthy volunteers enrolled in a lung cancer screening trial between September 2019 and March 2020 developed coronavirus antibodies long before Feb. 21, when the country’s first case was identified. Giovanni Apolone, a co-author of the study, says four cases dated back to early October 2019, which meant the healthy volunteers would have been infected in September.

米兰国家肿瘤研究所近日发表的一项研究结果显示,该国2019年9月采集的居民血液样本中已测出新冠病毒抗体,这意味着新冠病毒在意大利的传播时间远早于今年2月,可能要追溯至2019年夏天。米兰国家肿瘤研究所在2019年9月到2020年3月间招募了959名身体健康的志愿者参与一项肺癌检测。疫情爆发后,研究人员对所有保存的血液样本进行了新冠病毒血清检测,结果显示959份样本中有111份呈阳性,其中16份对免疫球蛋白G抗体呈阳性,97份对免疫球蛋白M抗体呈阳性。检测呈阳性的血液样本来自意大利13个大区,其中23份为2019年9月采集,27份为10月采集,26份为11月采集,11份为12月采集,另外3份和21份分别在今年1月和2月采集。此外,这111份阳性样本中还有6份对新冠病毒中和抗体呈阳性,其中4份是2019年10月初采集的。2019年11月,意大利不少医生已在老年人和身体脆弱人群中发现非典型间质肺炎,由于当时没有新冠病毒的相关信息,都被归为重型季节性流感。这篇名为《意大利疫情大流行前意外检测到的新冠病毒抗体》的研究论文上周三已发表在《肿瘤期刊》杂志上。
