The UK’s health minister has said there’s nothing in the roots of the Covid-19 epidemic to support allegations of a man-made origin, as unsubstantiated theories continue to be touted on the other side of the Atlantic.

“We have looked into this and we don’t have any evidence that this is a man-made coronavirus,” Matt Hancock stated on Wednesday. The remark came as he was pressed into giving his take on the US government alleging that the novel coronavirus originated from a Chinese laboratory.

We haven’t seen any evidence of a link, there’s nothing I’ve seen that confirms the allegation.

Days ago, US President Donald Trump made headlines by saying he has seen evidence backing up this theory. “We have people looking at it very, very strongly. Scientific people, intelligence people, and others,” he said at the time, adding: “We will have a very good answer eventually.”
