The bill requires the declassification of as much information as possible on potential links between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the origin of covid-19.
President Biden on Monday signed a bill into law that directs the federal government to declassify certain information about the origin of the coronavirus, three years after the virus caused a global pandemic that has killed millions of people worldwide.
“I share the Congress’s goal of releasing as much information as possible about the origin” of the coronavirus, Biden said in a statement after the signing, adding, “We need to get to the bottom of COVID-19’s origins to help ensure we can better prevent future pandemics.”
The bill requires the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to declassify all information relating to potential links between China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology and the origin of the coronavirus, with redactions only to prevent harm to national security.
