(CNN) President Joe Biden said Wednesday he has directed the US intelligence community to redouble their efforts in investigating the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic and report back to him in 90 days. And I have asked the Intelligence Community to keep Congress fully apprised of its work," Biden said in a statement. "As of today, the U.S. Intelligence Community has 'coalesced around two likely scenarios' but has not reached a definitive conclusion on this question. CNN reported in April 2020 that the intelligence community was investigating if the novel coronavirus spread from a Chinese laboratory rather than a market in Wuhan, China. That State Department investigation that was shut down is separate from the intelligence community's investigation, which has never stopped.
