>[...] the lab is a few blocks from the reported ground zero for this outbreak.

The Wuhan Institute for Virology (BSL-4 lab) is actually 13 km away. People mixed it up with the unrelated Wuhan Center for Disease Control (BSL-2 lab).

Does that change anything, if workers from the lab frequent that market, because it's a popular central location to go to shop, eat, meet, whatever, while sloppy safety practices led to at least one of them being infected, and sneeze or cough while wandering around?
