White House spokesman Jean-Pierre called identifying the origins of COVID-19 as a key priority 
Understanding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic remains a key focus of the administration President of the United States Joe Biden. This was stated by the spokesman for the White House Karin Jean-Pierre, writes Reuters.
According to her, the United States and its partners intend to continue to put pressure on China in order to receive answers about the origin of the coronavirus. Jean-Pierre stressed that the American authorities will insist on transparency in this matter. “It is extremely important for us to get to the bottom of the truth,” she said.
Earlier, US intelligence rejected the version of the creation of the coronavirus as a biological weapon. The intelligence community concluded that SARS-CoV-2 first infected a person no later than November 2019 in Wuhan. At the same time, the Chinese authorities were unlikely to know about the existence of the virus until it was isolated by researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
