Blaming China for Covid-19 groundless: Russian media

It is unfounded for the United States to accuse China of causing the Covid-19 pandemic, a columnist of Russia's RIA Novosti news agency has said.

"The only information on which the whole anti-Chinese narrative is based" is an article in The Wall Street Journal, "which claimed that even before the official start of the pandemic, some scientists in Wuhan city in central China fell ill with something similar to the coronavirus".
