Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has backed the United States' push for a renewed investigation into the origins of coronavirus.


On Thursday, US President Joe Biden ordered his country's intelligence agencies to "redouble" their efforts to find the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic in 90 days.

President Biden also appealed to China to fully participate in an international investigation.

China, however, has hit back, saying the US was trying to make them a 'scapegoat'.

India continues to record the highest daily increase in COVID-19 cases around the world, with its overall total now at 27.37 million.
