US intelligence agencies have found no direct evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic originated from an incident at China's Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to a report declassified on Friday, Reuters reported.
The origin of the virus remains at the center of fierce political disputes.
Many scientists believe that the virus passed from an animal to a human in a market in Wuhan, but the city is also home to a state-of-the-art virus laboratory, fueling rumors that the virus leaked.
The first case of infection with the coronavirus in Wuhan, China was announced at the end of 2019.
The latest data from the Worldometers website show that 690.710.770 cases of coronavirus have been registered in the world since the beginning of the pandemic.
So far, 6.894.084 people have died as a result of the virus.
