At the same time, he noted that this was his own opinion, which he is now allowed to express.
Earlier, experts from the World Health Organization rejected the version of its origin as a result of a leak from the laboratory.
The WHO has also identified a new cause that could trigger a new type of coronavirus. They suggested that the formation of COVID-19 could be influenced by animal trade in China.
On December 31, 2019, Chinese authorities announced an outbreak of pneumonia in the city of Wuhan. The causative agent of the disease is a new type of coronavirus, which received the official name COVID-19. On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the new coronavirus for a pandemic.
