Biden gave intelligence services 90 days to find out how the coronavirus came about

In addition to the health tragedy it caused, Covid-19 also caused the biggest crisis in the world economy since the Great Depression 90 years ago.

Biden’s announcement comes after the newspaper The Wall Street Journal reported that intelligence suspects the coronavirus originated from a research center in Wuhan, probably from the Institute of Virology in that city.

In the declaration, Biden recalls how China blocked foreign investigators from entering Wuhan in early months of tragedy.

The US government’s decision promises to further strain relations between Washington and Beijing, which have deteriorated since the United States came to power. Donald trump, in 2017.

The Chinese government, for its part, insists that Covid-19 has gone from an animal – possibly a bat – to a human, and even argued that the virus appeared outside the country and reached China in food products.
