There are two sources that most people talk about:
1. The Wuhan Institute of Virology
2. A particular market in Wuhan.
However, all we really know is that Wuhan is the first city with a lot of cases.
It is entirely possible that the virus, or a virus precursor was active in a small population somewhere else.
Also, there are a lot of labs in Wuhan besides the WIV.
