May 26 (UPI) -- President Joe Biden said Wednesday he has asked the intelligence community to "redouble their efforts" to find the likely origins of COVID-19 and provide him with a report within 90 days.
Biden said that questions continue to grow about whether the coronavirus was caused by an accident in a Chinese laboratory or if it developed from human contact from an infected animal.
Biden said he's asked for further inquiries that may be required, including specific questions for China.
"I have also asked that this effort include work by our national labs and other agencies of our government to augment the intelligence community's efforts," he said in a statement.
