Coronavirus found in November frozen sewage samples in Brazil

Brazilian researchers are looking into samples of the new corona virus found in the country much before Brazil’s the first official COVID-19 case to try and understand how the virus has evolved since.

SARS-CoV-2 was found in frozen sewage samples in the southern state of Santa Catarina that dates back to November 2019.

CGTN’s Paulo Cabral travelled to the state capital of Florianopolis to investigate.
