Despite all these, debates making round the social media platforms, the WHO hasn’t yet revealed any particular answer to solve this uncertainty.
According to WHO, research is still going on the cause of this virus by world scientists.
Therefore, making a guess over the cause of the virus leading to zoonotic or nature is all about prediction.

#CheckTheFake on #COVID19
FAKE: Coronavirus spread from bats.
FACT: To raise awareness, 64 chiropterologists (those who study bats) from six South Asian countries have released a document clarifying myths about bats and strongly affirming that bats do not spread COVID-19. They also clarify that the bat coronaviruses (BtCoV) found in two species of Indian bats (in a recent Indian Council of Medical Research study) are not the same as SARS-CoV-2 and cannot cause COVID-19 (The Hindu).
