No evidence Covid-19 is man-made, UK health minister says
The UK’s health minister has said there’s nothing in the roots of the Covid-19 epidemic to support allegations of a man-made origin, as unsubstantiated theories continue to be touted on the other side of the Atlantic.
“We have looked into this and we don’t have any evidence that this is a man-made coronavirus,” Matt Hancock stated on Wednesday.
The remark came as he was pressed into giving his take on the US government alleging that the novel coronavirus originated from a Chinese laboratory.
