WASHINGTON: Politicizing the origins of COVID-19 will hamper investigations, said China’s embassy in the United States on Thursday. The development comes after US President Joe Biden ordered a review of intelligence about where the virus emerged.
China supports “a comprehensive study of all early cases of COVID-19 found worldwide and a thorough investigation into some secretive bases and biological laboratories all over the world,” the embassy said in remarks attributed to a spokesperson, posted on its website.
Earlier in the day, President Biden ordered aides to find answers to the origin of the virus that causes Covid. He said on Wednesday that US intelligence agencies are pursuing rival theories potentially including the possibility of a laboratory accident in China.
