Apparently there's also new information now that strengthens support for the theory that it came from the market. From the New York Times:
Last month a team of researchers presented an inventory of 47,381 animals from 38 species sold in Wuhan markets between May 2017 and November 2019. It included species like civets and raccoon dogs that can act as intermediate hosts for coronaviruses. Dr. Worobey called that study “a game-changing paper.”
He also pointed to the timing of the earliest cases of Covid in Wuhan. “The Huanan market is right at the epicenter of the outbreak, with later cases then radiating outward in space from there,” Dr. Worobey said in an email. “No early cases cluster anywhere near the W.I.V., which has been the focus of most speculation about a possible lab escape,” he said.
