China banned wildlife trade nationwide starting Sunday due to the deadly coronavirus sweeping across the country, officials said. No wildlife can be transported or sold in any markets and online until the “epidemic situation is lifted nationwide” in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the country’s market watchdog, agricultural ministry, and forestry bureau said in a joint statement. The viral illness is believed to have emerged from wild animals in markets in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.
