China outbreak 'may have started earlier'
A surge in road traffic outside Wuhan hospitals at the end of August suggests that Covid-19 may have hit China earlier than reported by the authorities, according to a Harvard Medical School study.
Using commercial satellite imagery, researchers found a "dramatic increase" in traffic outside five major hospitals in the Chinese city. The traffic spike also coincided with a rise in online searches for information on symptoms like "cough" and “diarrhea”.
Dr John Brownstein, who led the research, said the evidence was circumstantial, but told ABC News that it would provide important context in the search for the virus' origins.
“Something was happening in October,” said Dr Brownstein. “Clearly, there was some level of social disruption taking place well before what was previously identified as the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic.”
On 31 December 2019, China reported a cluster of pneumonia cases with an unknown cause to the World Health Organization. Nine days later, Chinese authorities revealed they had detected a novel coronavirus (later named Sars-CoV-2, the virus causing Covid-19) in several of the pneumonia cases.

Belgian party prince fined for breaking lockdown in Spain
Belgian prince Joachim has been fined 10,400 euros (£9,283) in Spain for violating lockdown rules on a trip to the Andalusian city of Cordoba, a government official told AFP on Wednesday.
Joachim, who arrived at the end of May, admitted the offence after website El Confidencial broke the story.
The fine was "for breaking confinement, which he has recognised, he's been notified and 10,400 euros are required", the official said.
The website leaked a report from the regional health authority that "a person who had travelled from Belgium ... met a total of 27 friends and acquaintances on May 26 at a Cordoba residential building".
Gatherings of no more than 15 people were allowed in the southern area under measures imposed to fight the pandemic.
Two days after the party, the same person from Belgium tested positive for coronavirus, the report said.
The 28-year-old prince, a nephew of the Belgian king, has 15 days to appeal the fine.
