An unfounded conspiracy theory about the COVID-19. COVID-19 is of natural origin and has been transmitted to humans from animals, as is the case with other types of coronaviruses according to numerous independent researches. It was first reported in the Chinese city of Wuhan in central China and has been rapidly spreading across the world. The number of COVID-19 cases surpassed 300,000 globally with over 14,000 deaths by 23 March 2020. Cases have been reported in 190 countries, territories and areas.
