It is a false claim that the Covid-19 outbreak started from Wuhan. Scientists from Spain, Italy and Brazil have independently reported the detection of the coronavirus in their city waste water samples dating back to early 2019. China was the first country to detect the existence of the coronavirus, but it does not mean the virus started in China. If a country announces the finding of a new virus, it makes that country a whistle-blower for the mankind, not the scapegoat.

The fact that the virus was detected in wastewater samples in Italy earlier doesn't by itself rule out an origin from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, or from China.

  It does not rule out the origin from Italy, USA, Spain, UK or any other countries on the earth either.

    True, but what you wrote suggested that the fact it was detected elsewhere exonerates China. It does not.

This has been considered to be a problem with cross-contamination, only one sample was found in Spain for example.
