WHO has seen no evidence to back US claim COVID-19 came from Chinese lab

At Monday's World Health Organization news briefing, the organization said it has received no evidence from the US to back up claims the novel coronavirus came from a lab in Wuhan.

WHO Health Emergencies Programme's executive director, Michael Ryan, called the claims "speculative", and reiterated that scientific evidence suggests COVID-19 is natural in origin.

Ryan also praised scientists in China for communicating and collaborating around the world to fight the pandemic.
