Covid Lab Leak Theory Should Not Be Ruled Out, Top Chinese Scientist Says | China Covid Latest News
The former director of China’s Center for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) has said the lab leak theory for the origins of Covid-19 should not be discounted.
George Gao, an internationally respected virologist, also said another branch of the Chinese government had investigated the lab leak theory – the first such acknowledgment that some kind of official investigation took place. “They haven’t found wrongdoing,” he said.
Gao served as the CDC head until July 2022, putting him at the forefront of China’s investigations into the origins of Covid.
The virus was first detected in Wuhan, a city in central China, in December 2019. Numerous studies have suggested Covid most likely emerged from a wet market in Wuhan where live animals were sold.
