[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] An immunology doctor from Hong Kong has announced that he will soon reveal scientific evidence supporting his claim that the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.


On the 11th (local time), Dr. Yan Limeng, affiliated with the School of Public Health at the University of Hong Kong, participated via video in the British ITV talk show "Loose Women" and made this statement.


Dr. Yan introduced herself as having been involved in a confidential investigation into the new pneumonia cases that occurred in Wuhan from late December last year to mid-January this year, before COVID-19 spread worldwide.


Claiming that the origin of the COVID-19 virus is a laboratory in Wuhan, she explained that she will soon publish a report containing evidence supporting this based on genetic sequences and other data. She also asserted, "Even without biological knowledge, by reading the report, one can directly verify and confirm why the COVID-19 virus originated from a Chinese laboratory."


Furthermore, Dr. Yan argued that since the COVID-19 virus did not occur naturally, the story that COVID-19 started at the Wuhan seafood market is a "smokescreen."



The laboratory she referred to was "a Wuhan laboratory under Chinese government control." It is presumed to refer to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which has been suspected multiple times of leaks.
