Today Senior Research Fellow in Global Health at the University of Southampton But Dr Michael Head said: ‘We have good evidence from the genomics research that the virus is not man-made, and the scientific world has very much moved on from this idea. It is unhelpful for high-profile individuals to repeat the debunked conspiracy theories, as it undermines the public health response.’ Professor of Medical Microbiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Brendan Wren also criticised the POTUS. He said: ‘Having been to Wuhan a number of times and having had infectious disease researchers from Wuhan working in my labs in London, I don’t believe that there have been any deliberate or nefarious activities with the SARS-Cov-2 virus.’ Experts say it is ‘generally accepted that the virus has mutated naturally’ (Picture: AFP/Getty Images) Coronavirus latest news and updates Visit our live blog for the latest updates: Coronavirus news live Read all new and breaking stories on our Covid-19 news page The latest coronavirus symptoms explained Who needs to go to work, who needs to stay at home and who is classed as a key worker?

Yesterday the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a statement saying that it ‘concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the Covid-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified’. It added: ‘The IC (intelligence community) will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.’ Speaking at the White House yesterday, Trump said: ‘It’s a terrible thing that happened.
