London, May 30
British intelligence agencies now believe it is "feasible" that the Covid-19 pandemic began with a virus leak from a Chinese laboratory, a media report said on Sunday, prompting UK's Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi to demand that the WHO must fully investigate the origins of the deadly virus.
China's Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) is near the outbreak's known epicentre of Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, where the virus first emerged in late 2019 and became a pandemic.
Speaking to Sky News, Zahawi said: "It's vital that the WHO is allowed to conduct investigation unencumbered." Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the foreign affairs select committee, said Wuhan's silence was troubling." — PTI
