United States Secretary of State, MIKE POMPEO has said that there is enormous evidence that the coronavirus pandemic originated in a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

POMPEO insisted that Beijing recklessly concealed important information about the outbreak and demanded that they be held accountable.

He added that early Chinese efforts to downplay the coronavirus amounted to a disinformation effort.

The Secretary of State however said he agrees with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified.
