Se sospecha que la fuente de la infección fue un mercado de comida en Wuhan, una megaciudad de 11 millones de habitantes ubicada en el centro de China. El mercado fue clausurado el 1 de enero y se aplicaron medidas de desinfección, lo que está dificultando que se pueda trazar el origen de la infección; es decir, qué animal ha provocado el contagio. En este mercado se vendían animales muertos y vivos, salvajes y domésticos, incluidas marmotas, pájaros, murciélagos y serpientes. -
