US President Joe Biden has ordered US intelligence agencies to report to him in the next three months on whether the Covid-19 virus first emerged in China from an animal source or from a laboratory accident. ‘As part of that report, I have asked for areas of further inquiry that may be required, including specific questions for China,’ a statement from the US President said.
