Biggest wet market in Wuhan trading again though sale of live animals has been banned

Almost all traders at Wuhan’s biggest wet market, Baishazhou, are back up and running.

The trading of live wild animals or livestock has been banned.

Back in January, the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said a likely source of the virus was wildlife sold as food at Huanan wet market in Wuhan, state news agency Xinhua reported.

It was closed on January 1.

Beijing won’t accept the theory Wuhan is the source of the global pandemic after cases decreased there but surged in Europe.
