Former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson believes the COVID-19 pandemic likely started as a result of a laboratory accident in Wuhan, China, not from an animal-to-human transmission of the virus. 

The revelation comes from a sneak peek of his memoir Unleashed that was published this weekend in the British outlet Daily Mail. The book will arrive on shelves Oct. 10.
