Covid pandemic sparked by accidental leak from Wuhan lab, US investigation concludes

The 300-page report into Covid origins finds leak was likely ‘unintentional resulting from failures of biosafety containment’

The pandemic was probably the result of a “research-related incident” at a laboratory in Wuhan, China, a lengthy US Senate report concluded.

It said the theory that Covid-19 jumped from animals to humans in a market no longer deserved the “presumption of accuracy”.

The 300-page report, released to Axios, was the full version of a 35-page summary published in October by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
