US President Joe Biden instructs intelligence agencies within three months to deal with the origin of the Covid-19 virus.

This type of coronavirus was first detected in the Chinese city of Wuhan at the end of 2019.. The Chinese authorities linked the outbreak to a local market, and the prevailing theory so far was that the virus was somehow transmitted from animals to humans..

Recently, however, more and more reports began to appear in the American press, citing more and more evidence in support of the version of a virus leak from a virology laboratory in Wuhan..

The Chinese authorities categorically reject such assumptions.. A team of WHO researchers, who arrived in Wuhan earlier this year to determine the source of the virus, said in their final report that although a version of its man-made origin seems unlikely, more research is required before it can be ruled out..

Shortly after taking office as President of the United States, he tasked the intelligence community to prepare a report based on all available information, according to Joe Biden's statement posted on Wednesday evening on the White House website.. The report he received earlier this month could not give an unambiguous answer to the question posed..

" He also asked national scientific medical laboratories and other agencies to assist in these efforts..

The version that the source of the outbreak of the Covid-19 disease could be the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which was supported by the previous US President Donald Trump, was ridiculed by many media outlets, who called it false and conspiracy.

However, as noted by the BBC's North American correspondent Anthony Zurker, the facts that have become known recently, including the data that several employees of the Chinese laboratory were hospitalized in November 2019, make this version one of the leading.

If the US can indeed find convincing evidence of a virus leak from the laboratory, it could seriously complicate the US-China relationship for many years to come..
