A city in Indonesia’s North Sulawesi province known for exotic animals has stopped sales over Coronavirus fears, a health official said on Friday.
Tomohon is known for its market that sells meat and live animals including rat, snake, bat and monkey for consumption.
The move comes after the country’s Trade Ministry on Thursday introduced a ban on cattle and poultry imports from China. It had already banned imports of exotic animals from China. Indonesian Health Minister Terawan Putranto reacted angrily to what he saw as suggestions that Indonesia had not done enough monitoring or was incapable of identifying cases.Indonesian officials said on Thursday they were investigating information that a Chinese tourist had tested positive of the virus after travelling to the resort island of Bali.
The Indonesian Health Ministry said the man was likely to have been infected in China after returning.
