Until a few weeks ago wildlife farming was still being promoted by government agencies as an easy way for rural Chinese people to get rich, according the The Guardian newspaper.

But the Covid-19 outbreak, which has now led to 2,666 deaths and over 77,700 known infections, is thought to have originated in wildlife sold at a market in Wuhan in early December, prompting a massive rethink by authorities on how to manage the trade.

Full story here.
