US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday the United States has seen considerable evidence the novel coronavirus causing the COVID-19 disease originated in a virology lab in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

“There is significant evidence that this came from the [Wuhan] laboratory,” Pompeo said at a press briefing.

US President Trump has been lashing out at China for allegedly concealing the outbreak and mismanaging the crisis at its initial stages.

The US president claims intelligence data suggests that coronavirus leaked from a lab in the city of Wuhan.

The World Health Organization says the genomic sequence indicates the virus’s source is natural.
