As Business Insider reports, the Wuhan coronavirus (2019-nCoV), is believed to have originated in a wet market in Wuhan in the province of Hubei. The markets are known to sell both live and dead animals. Oftentimes, the cargo is poorly regulated.
“It is necessary to strengthen market supervision, resolutely ban and severely crack down on illegal wildlife markets and trade, and control major public health risks from the source,” said the committee in the statement.
The ban is just one initiative the Chinese government has proposed to prevent the spread of the virus. Other methods include panic-building two hospitals and introducing quarantines throughout the country.
