DW News published this video item, entitled “Biden urges new investigation into COVID origins | DW News” – below is their description.
Joe Biden says US intelligence agencies are unsure whether the virus was transferred to humans from an animal or whether it leaked from a lab. However, he is calling for a “transparent, international investigation.”
Biden’s announcement comes after recent reports said some researchers at a virology lab in Wuhan, where the pandemic is suspected to have started in December 2019, were ill one month earlier.
China wholly rejects the theory that SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a lab, and the Chinese Embassy in the US called the idea a “conspiracy theory” in statement released shortly after Biden’s announcement.
