SUMMARY

RESPONSE

This a conspiracy theory about the emergence of coronavirus in the world. Currently, scientists have not discovered the origin of this virus. The source of the new strain of coronavirus is still unknown, however, all available evidence suggests that this type of virus has a natural animal origin and is not a constructed virus. It has not been developed in any of the world's laboratories. There is no evidence to suggest that the virus is being used as a weapon against other states or that it was fabricated inside laboratories. This Coronavirus comes from a family of viruses that include the common cold and viruses such as SARS and MERS.
