An-Najah News - U.S.  government is trying to determine whether the coronavirus emanated from a lab in Wuhan, China said President Donald Trump .

General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that U.S  intelligence indicates that the coronavirus likely occurred naturally, as opposed to being created in a laboratory in China, but there is no certainty either way becuase the source of the virus remains a mystery.

Report have suggested the Wuhan lab where virology experiments take place and lax safety standards there led to someone getting infected and appearing at a nearby “wet” market, where the virus began to spread.

 The virus originated in a Wuhan laboratory not as a bioweapon, but as part of China’s effort to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States.
