Experts from the WHO and China conducted a month-long investigation into the coronavirus origins.
They concluded that the novel virus almost certainly did not leak from a Chinese lab.
The virus most likely jumped from bats to an intermediary animal host and then to humans.
A year into the pandemic, the origins of the coronavirus are still a mystery.
The World Health Organization sent an international team to Wuhan, China, in January to investigate where the virus came from and how it was introduced into the human population. Yet the investigation yielded few definitive answers.
