Britain's intelligence forces are reportedly assisting US investigations into the origins of Covid-19 after President Joe Biden ordered a 90-day push to discover how the virus emerged.

Intelligence officials in the UK have conducted their own investigation into the origins of the pandemic amid claims that Covid was leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

And a senior Whitehall security source told The Telegraph that British intelligence is also cooperating with the new American investigation in a bid to 'establish the truth'.

The source told the publication: 'We are contributing what intelligence we have on Wuhan, as well as offering to help the American to corroborate and analyse any intelligence they have that we can assist with.'
