A premier Chinese virology laboratory in Wuhan, which is in the eye of the storm for allegedly being the source of the novel coronavirus , has for the first time refuted the charge, including those of US President Donald Trump, that the deadly virus originated from his lab before it spread across the world and wreaked havoc.
China has come under increasing global pressure over lack of transparency in its handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which has so far infected over 2,333,160 people and claimed more than 160,790 lives across the world.
President Trump on Saturday said his administration was looking into reports that the novel coronavirus “escaped” from a Wuhan laboratory before it spread to the world.
“We’re looking at it, a lot of people are looking at it. It seems to make sense,” Trump told the media when asked if there was an investigation into whether the coronavirus disease escaped from a lab in China’s COVID-19 ground-zero city of Wuhan.
Ever since the virus came to light in Wuhan in December last year, speculation has been rife on whether the viral strain originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) or from its nearby Huanan Seafood Market.
The WIV, specifically its P4 laboratory, is equipped to handle dangerous viruses.

I believe they have already denied it and put the blame on US
of course they will deny it. like every criminal denies their crime.
There should be an impartial investigation by an international body to get to the root of it.
Which is not on China’s payroll
Very True. Most innocent country. They never do anything wrong. They are called dragon for a reason.
Later they will also deny that it originated in China.
A transparent investigation will be required to find out the cause and origin and China’s clean chit to themselves won’t be useful.
