After reports of lab-originated virus gained momentum, the director of Wuhan Institute of Virology Yuan Zhiming denied the claims calling it "impossible". In an interview with Chinese state media, Yuan said that none of his staff had been infected, and the "whole institute is carrying out research in different areas related to the coronavirus".
The United States has repeatedly accused China of hiding the facts regarding the novel coronavirus and hinting towards a possible origin from the Wuhan laboratory. During a White House press briefing on coronavirus, State Secretary Mike Pompeo had said that there is still time for clarity and transparency over COVID-19 as researchers are still working on the problem and they need accurate data to perform their analysis related to therapeutics and vaccine.
