"As a laboratory with the highest level of biosafety and protection, the P4 lab in Wuhan has never had any pathogen leakage or human infection accident since it was officially put into operation in 2018. The P4 lab is designed, constructed and operated in accordance with international requirements and national standards. It not only has stable and reliable biosafety protection facilities, but also has established a complete biosafety management system and a team of professional support, management and maintenance personnel. I can say with certainty that the hardware, management, staff and working methods of the P4 lab in Wuhan are the same as those of other P4 labs currently operating in the world."

"Some media once reported that 'three researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology went to hospital in November 2019, and their symptoms were consistent with that of novel coronavirus. This was completely fabricated out of thin air. If we want to find out the truth, it is very simple in fact. We just need these journalists to tell us the names of these three people, the truth will be revealed. In fact, we have proposed this suggestion for a long time, but we have not received any response until now."

"I would like to emphasize three things. First, the Wuhan Institute of Virology did not contact, preserve or study the novel coronavirus before December 30, 2019. Second, the Wuhan Institute of Virology has never designed, created or leaked the novel coronavirus. Third, none of the staff and graduate students of the Wuhan Institute of Virology has been infected with the novel coronavirus."

The biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratory of the Wuhan Institute of Virology has never had any leakage accident, said a Chinese expert when refuting the conspiracy theory that the novel coronavirus was leaked from the lab.
At a press briefing on tracing the origin of the novel coronavirus, Yuan Zhiming, director of the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory and researcher of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, said it is a common knowledge that the virus originates from nature.
He said the lab in Wuhan is just as safe as other P4 labs in the world and has never had any leakage.

He stressed three facts on the Wuhan Institute of Virology to prove that the virus has nothing to do with it.
