The earliest reported and registered novel coronavirus pneumonia patient in Wuhan, the capital city of Central China's Hubei province, denied having been to the Huanan Seafood Market, Beijing Youth Daily reported on Wednesday.
The news report cited Wuhan's epidemic prevention and control headquarters, which gave the information via the official social media account of Wuhan government, "Wuhan Fabu", on news aggregator Toutiao when answering a question raised by the newspaper via its Toutiao account "Bendi Haowai".
The patient, surnamed Chen, who lives in the city's Wuchang district, was diagnosed on Dec 8, 2019, and was cured and discharged from the hospital later, according to the headquarters.
