ABSTRACT
According to official sources, the COVID-19 epidemic caused by the new type of coronavirus, which started in the late December 2019 in the city of Wuhan, China, as atypical pneumonia cases of unknown origin, then spread to Iran, then to all of Europe and the United States through Italy, and finally to the whole world. It has become widespread in our country after the March 2019 and has become the main agenda of our social life with the quarantine and isolation measures that have been gradually expanded. Scientists have put forward many thoughts and findings about the origin and evolution of the virus since the epidemic first broke out, and on the other hand, they sought an answer to the question of whether it is a biological weapon produced in the laboratory. Hypotheses about whether the virus was created by nature as a result of natural selection or whether it is a human-made virus still remain on the agenda. Although it is prohibited by international signed conventions, the possibility of producing the coronavirus for the purpose of using as a biological weapon or revealing the origin of the virus will also include the answers to what our future will be like in this epidemic and thereafter. In this presentation, the concept of biological warfare, the characteristics of biological weapons, and in this context, where the COVID-19 epidemic is in these concepts, and the evaluation of the virus in terms of biological weapons will be evaluated.
