The zoonotic origin claim for Covid-19 is in the news, but it is fact free.
A fact: all SARS-CoV-2 sequences fit into a phylogeny with a common ancestor in Wuhan in October/November 2019.
Another fact: we have not found the intermediate host or natural viral reservoir from which this virus arose.
These are pretty intense facts. We would need a lot of other facts to make the zoonotic origin claim hold water.
