US Congress Accuses China of Creating Coronavirus
US lawmakers support the theory that the virus originated in a Chinese lab.
A Republican-led subcommittee created to conduct a "review" of the pandemic has released a report.
The main conclusion of the document was that the virus probably appeared in a laboratory, France24 reports.
The available evidence points to the Wuhan Institute of Virology being responsible.
After a two-year congressional investigation into the COVID-19 pandemic, it was concluded that the virus originated in a laboratory in China.
More than 7 million people with COVID-19 have died worldwide since the virus emerged in 2019.
The United States, in particular, has recorded more deaths than anywhere else in the world.
As of April, statistics show, more than 1.2 million American deaths have been confirmed and more than 111 million have been infected.
Five years later, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a slight increase in positive coronavirus tests in the past week.
