The result suggests that the novel coronavirus outbreak is highly relevant to the trading of the wild animals, experts said. The successful isolation of the novel coronavirus further substantiates that the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market contains a large quantity of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), according to the experts."
