Joe Biden asks intelligence community to investigate origin of COVID-19 within 90 days

President Joe Biden has ordered the intelligence community to report within 90 days on the likely origins of coronavirus on Wednesday.

As speculations around the origination of the virus increase day by day. Whether the virus was an outcome of an accident in a Chinese laboratory or circulated through other modes.

Biden urged in a statement that he wants the community, which has been split over the topic, to “redouble” their investigative attempts.

As per Biden’s statement, as of today, the U.S. Intelligence Community has “merged around two likely scenarios.”

“I have now asked the Intelligence Community to redouble their efforts to collect and analyze information that could bring us closer to a definitive conclusion, and to report back to me in 90 days,” Biden added.

Biden’s order comes a day after Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra told the World Health Organization that international experts must be allowed to independently examine the origin of the virus.
