U.S. President Joe Biden has signed the 'COVID-19 Origin Act.' The law mandates the declassification of all information related to the possible connection between the Wuhan laboratory and the COVID-19 virus.
On the 20th, President Biden signed the bill and stated, "We must uncover the truth about the origin of COVID-19 to better prevent future pandemics."
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.
The bill received bipartisan support, and with Chinese President Xi Jinping making a state visit to Russia, which invaded Ukraine, intensifying China-Russia relations, it is analyzed that President Biden signed the bill promptly.
