"New coronavirus is not artificial" US intelligence agency statement May 1: 6:45
The U.S. intelligence agency stated that the new coronavirus was not artificially made, but issued a statement that it will continue to investigate the source.
Regarding the new coronavirus, some American media reported that the infection may have spread from a research institute in Wuhan, China, and revealed that President Trump is also conducting investigation as the government.
Against this backdrop, the Secretary of State for National Intelligence, which oversees American intelligence agencies, said yesterday that "I agree with the widely accepted scientific view that the new coronavirus is neither artificial nor genetically engineered." He said that the virus was not artificially made.
On the other hand, regarding the source, we will continue to investigate, saying "We will continue to scrutinize the information to determine whether it is due to contact with virus-infected animals or accident at Wuhan research institute." It was.
Although the Chinese government has strongly denied that the infection may have spread from a research institute in Wuhan, Germany and the United Kingdom are calling for China to clarify the truth.
