 A bat origin for SARS-CoV-2 has been proposed. Here, by sampling wild Rhinolophus ecuminatus bats from Thailand, the authors identified a SARS-CoV-2 related coronavirus, SC2R-CoV, designated as IECC-S203, with 91.5% genome similarity to SARS-CoV-2, and show that SEHA obtained from bats and Malen pangolin neutralized SARS-CoV-2.
