He added, "The government will continue to review all classified information related to the origin of COVID-19, including potential links to the Wuhan Virus Research Institute," and said, "In implementing this law, the government will declassify and share as much information as possible."


Earlier, following the Senate, the House of Representatives unanimously passed the 'COVID-19 Origin Act' on the 10th.
