Intelligence report says US split on Covid-19 origins

US intelligence agencies have found no direct evidence that Covid-19 broke out from a Chinese laboratory, a declassified report has said.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) said both a natural and laboratory origin remain plausible scenarios.

It noted most US intelligence agencies agree the virus was not genetically engineered or “laboratory-adapted”.

The origins of the pandemic have been a matter of bitter debate in the US.
