Intelligence has not yet come to a consensus on the origin of the coronavirus. There are disagreements over versions. One of the versions says that the virus was transmitted from an animal to a person in a natural way. The second is that the coronavirus originated from a leak from a laboratory in Wuhan. Intelligence considers both versions plausible.

However, intelligence denies the version that the virus was created as a biological weapon.
“We believe the (COVID-19) virus was not developed as a biological weapon. Most agencies also believe with low confidence that SARS-CoV-2 probably was not genetically engineered,” the report said. intelligence.
