No direct proof Covid-19 stemmed from Wuhan lab leak, US intelligence says

Four-page declassified report said while ‘extensive work’ had been conducted, no evidence of an incident at the Wuhan lab was found

US intelligence agencies found no direct evidence that the Covid-19 pandemic stemmed from an incident at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, a report declassified on Friday said.

The four-page report by the office of the director of national intelligence (ODNI) said the US intelligence community still could not rule out the possibility that the virus came from a laboratory, however, and had not been able to discover the origins of the pandemic.
