America says there's a lot of evidence indicating that the coronavirus came from the lab.

There's enough evidence that the coronavirus started there. We've said since the beginning that the virus originated in Wuhan,” said Pompeo told ABC television.

However, he did not directly say if he felt that the virus had been deliberately released.

Pompeo added that there is no reason to doubt the position of American intelligence that the Coronavirus was not created by humans and that the virus had not been genetically modified.

He said the Chinese side does not allow access to important information and that this is not the first time the world has been exposed to viruses because of what he described as “failures in the operation of Chinese labs”.
