Authorities in Wuhan, the epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic, have officially banned the eating of all wild animals, according to the Independent.
The local administration in the Chinese city said that along with the consumption ban, Wuhan would become a "wildlife sanctuary" where virtually all hunting of wild animals was banned with the exception of measures for "scientific research, population regulation, monitoring of epidemic diseases and other special circumstances".
As part of the ban, the city introduced stringent controls on the breeding of all wild animals, prohibiting any to be reared for food.
