The first cluster of coronavirus cases in Europe was officially detected on 21st February 2020 in Northern Italy, even if recent evidence showed sporadic first cases in Europe since the end of 2019. In this study, we have tested the presence of coronavirus in Italy and, even more importantly, we have assessed whether the virus had already spread sooner than 21st February. We use a counterfactual approach and certified daily data on the number of deaths (deaths from any cause, not only related to coronavirus) at the municipality level. Our estimates confirm that coronavirus began spreading in Northern Italy in mid-January.

冠状病毒什么时候到达欧洲?

2020年2月21日,在意大利北部正式发现了欧洲第一批冠状病毒病例,即使最近的证据显示自2019年底以来在欧洲散发了第一批冠状病毒。在这项研究中,我们测试了意大利是否存在冠状病毒,并且更重要的是,我们评估了该病毒是否早于2月21日就已经传播了。我们使用反事实方法,并通过了经认证的每日数据,以了解市政当局的死亡人数(任何原因造成的死亡,不仅与冠状病毒有关)。我们的估计证实,冠状病毒已于1月中旬开始在意大利北部传播。
