US President Donald Trump on Wednesday acknowledged Fox News report that the novel coronavirus (nCoV) may have been accidentally leaked by an intern working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. The Fox News in an exclusive report based on unnamed sources has claimed that though the virus is a naturally occurring strain among bats and not a bioweapon, but it was being studied in Wuhan laboratory. The initial transmission of the virus was bat-to-human, the news channel said, adding that the "patient zero" worked at the laboratory. The lab employee was accidentally infected before spreading the disease among the common people outside the lab in Wuhan city. The Wuhan wet market initially identified as the place of origin, Fox News said, never sold bats. However, China blamed the wet market to deflect blame from the laboratory, the report said. The virus was being studied in the lab as an attempt by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to "demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States," Fox News said quoting multiple sources. At the daily White House briefing of the US President on Wednesday, Fox News reporter John Roberts while asking Trump about the claims said, "Multiple sources are telling Fox News today that the United States now has high confidence that, while the coronavirus is a naturally occurring virus, it emanated from a virology lab in Wuhan, that, because of lax safety protocols, an intern was infected, who later infected her boyfriend, and then went to the wet market in Wuhan, where it then began to spread." President Trump neither confirmed nor denied the report, but noted that "more and more we're hearing the story .. and we'll see." "We are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation that happened," the President added. When pressed by Roberts about whether he had raised Chinese lab security in his recent call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, President Trump said, "I don't want to discuss what I talked to him about the laboratory. It's inappropriate right now." The news channel said that China initially made efforts to cover up the outbreak. Quoting a source, the report said that this could be the "costliest government cover-up of all time." Sources also characterized the World Health Organization (WHO) as being part of a cover-up from the very beginning, the report said. As per a recent Washington Post, two years ago, the US embassy officials in China raised concerns about the insufficient biosafety at the Chinese government's Wuhan Institute of Virology where deadly viruses and infectious diseases are studied. Though the institute, located quite close to the Wuhan wet market, is China's first bio-safety level IV lab, the US state department had warned in 2018 about "serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators needed to safely operate this high-containment laboratory".

चीनको ऊहानस्थित एक प्रयोगशालाबाट कोरोनाभाइरस सुरु भयो ट्रम्प, वैशाख १९ ,अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्पले बिहीवार कोरोना भाइरस चीनको ऊहानस्थित एक प्रयोगशालाबाट भाइरोलोजी फैलिएको भन्ने कुरामा आफू विश्वस्त भएको बताएका छन्। बिहिबार ह्वाइट हाउसमा आयोजित पत्रकार सम्मेलनमा पत्रकारले चीनको ऊहान इन्स्टिच्युट अफ भाइरोलोजीमा पैदा गरिएको हो तपाई संग के प्रमाण छ भनेर सोध्दा ट्रम्पले भने ‘पक्कै पनि, मसँग छ । मलाई लाग्छ कि विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठनले चीनको प्रचार–प्रसारको जुन काम गरिरहेको छ, त्यसमा लाज लाग्नुपर्ने हो । डब्ल्यूएचओ चीनको जनसम्पर्कको रुपमा काम गरिरहेको छ ।ट्रम्पको यो भनाइले बेइजिङसँग तनाव बढाउँदै लाने देखिएको छ। ट्रम्पले यो पनि भने म संग प्रमाण छ, अहिले तपाईहरुलाई भन्न मिल्दैन ।अमेरिकाले यस्तो आरोप लगाएको भएपनि चीन सरकारको नियन्त्रणमा रहेको वुहान इन्सिटियूट अफ भाइरोलोजीले भने सुरुदेखि आरोपको खण्डन गर्दै आइरहेको छ। चीनले यस्तो जानीजानी गर्यो वा गल्तीपूर्वक गर्यो, त्यो मलाई थाहा छैन । या कसैले कुनै लक्ष्य प्राप्तिका लागि यस्तो गर्यो । मानिसहरुलाई हुबेईबाट चीनको अन्य स्थानमा जान रोक लगाइएको थियो तर संसारभरी यात्रा गर्न भने छुट थियो । म यस्तो कुरा बुझ्दििनँ । चीनभरी मानिसहरुको आवतजावतमा प्रतिबन्ध थियो तर संसारभरी यात्रा गर्न कसैलाई पनि केही प्रतिबन्ध थिएन । जे भयो त्यो निकै खराब भयो । यो निकै कठिन प्रश्न हो र यसको जवाफ भेटिन बाँकी नै छ । थुप्रै विज्ञहरूका अनुसार भने यो भाइरस ल्याबबाट नभइ मासु बजारबाट जनावर हुँदै मानिसमा सरेको बताउँदै आएका छन्। अमेरिका हाल कोरोनाबाट १० लाख बढी संक्रमित भइसकेका छन् भने ६२ हजार बढीको ज्यान गइसकेको छ।
