UK expert: Novel coronavirus is of natural origin 

A UK biomedical science expert stated that the novel coronavirus is of natural origin, and did not come from a Wuhan laboratory.

"My view is very clear,  it's a zoonotic transfer from an animal reservoir, originally the bat, probably via some intermediates, it did not come from the Wuhan laboratory," Ian Jones, professor at the University of Reading, talked CGTN in an interview.

He denied the conspiracy which claims the novel coronavirus was engineered artificially, reiterating that the virus' genetic sequence has been determined. "If it is an engineered virus, it would have some marks, points, which show the engineering has been done. But that is not the case, the virus is typically an animal virus."
