Spanish virologists have found traces of Covid-19 in a sample of Barcelona wastewater collected in March 2019, the University of Barcelona said on Friday.
The team, who have been testing wastewater since mid-April 2020, also ran tests on older samples.
They discovered that the virus was present in Barcelona on January 15 2020, 41 days before the first case was officially reported in the city.
The researchers also ran tests on samples taken between January 2018 and December 2019 and found the coronavirus genome in one of the samples, collected on March 12, 2019.
"The levels of SARS-CoV-2 were low but were positive," research leader Albert Bosch said.

This is most certainly an error
Ignore it unless another study finds similar results

Probably more an indictment of the covid test accuracy.

So some bats took a drink, flew to China and were eaten by a human who coughed on some people?

That’s kinda my take on it as well. Particularly for the other waste water test.
I mean viruses aren’t that stable, I’m kinda surprised they can pick up on DNA fragments exclusive to SARS-Cov-2 on water samples even a couple of months old.
Coronaviruses in general, sure.
