According to WHO spokesperson Fadela Chaib, all evidence available so far suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 virus most likely came from animals.
A spokesman for the World Health Organization (WHO) said on April 21 that all evidence the organization has so far leans toward the SARS-CoV-2 virus hypothesis.originating from animals in nature, not created by humans.

According to Ms. Fadela Chaib, all evidence available so far shows that the SARS-CoV-2 virus most likely came from animals, rather than being modified or created in a laboratory.
The WHO spokesman also said it was still unclear how the virus could be transmitted from an animal host, most likely from bats, to humans, although it certainly had to be transmitted through an intermediary animal.
The latest statement from WHO regarding the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus comes as Western media is reporting many doubts regarding the true origin of the virus that is causing the Covid-19 pandemic worldwide.
Governments of some countries, especially the US, are also fanning these suspicions by announcing that they will investigate hypotheses that the SARS-CoV-2 virus could have leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, where the Covid-19 pandemic originated.
However, the Chinese government has always denied this hypothesis and said that Western countries are deliberately politicizing the incident to distract attention and blame weaknesses in the way they prevent the pandemic in Western countries./.
