Is the new pneumonia caused by bats?

It is still unknown whether bats are the source of infection. Currently, through epidemiological investigations and research by virologists, it has been found that bats contain roughly 200 types of coronaviruses that humans have not yet been exposed to. Through an investigation of the South China Seafood Market at the end of 2019, it was found that the market was selling bats, pangolins, civets, and other wild animals, and that the market had a population infected with novel coronavirus pneumonia, but no direct evidence has been obtained to prove that bats can directly transmit the virus to humans, who then acquire pneumonia manifestations afterwards. At present, in addition to the Wuhan South China market in the sale of bats, other areas of other countries, including many areas abroad, have also sold bats, but there have been no reports of people infected with novel coronavirus pneumonia or suspected cases. From the body detected this virus, whether this virus can be transmitted to people through bats, but also need scientists and virologists to do further investigation and analysis, and finally give the world a clear conclusion.
