Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence delivered a report to President Joe Biden but the nation’s spy agencies have not confirmed whether the disease was a consequence of an accidental leak or it has arisen naturally in a spillover from animals to humans.
Three months ago Biden had ordered the national intelligence agencies to draft a report on the origins of the virus between an intensifying debate over questions about its origin.
The inquiry analyzed data gathered from a virology research institute in Wuhan that has yet to answer the most prominent question about where it came from.

The reports remain classifieds and officials would not address its conclusions. But officials said some conclusions may be declassified.
