According to a new study, Chinese labs in Wuhan purchased more coronavirus testing equipment several months before the first virus case was reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) in December 2019.
New data procured by the Australian-U.S. cyber security firm Internet 2.0 found that there was a buy-up of polymerase chain reaction testing equipment (PCR) by nearly 50 percent throughout 2019. PCR tests are widely used to determine if an individual is infected with COVID-19 as it allows scientists to amplify DNA samples to check for disease or other genetic material.
