China reopens Wuhan markets four months after the outbreak of Corona

Wuhan's popular market opened its doors again Thursday, four months after the outbreak of the Corona epidemic in this Chinese city. Experts unanimously agree that the Corona virus, which killed 125,000 people in the world, appeared at the end of 2019 in a market in the city where wild animals are sold, and the virus may have passed from animal to human in it.

In the wake of repeated calls from abroad to close it and the bad reputation that it suffered, the Wuhan People's Market reopened its doors again Thursday, four months after the appearance of the Corona epidemic in this city in central China.

 The virus, which has claimed the lives of more than 125,000 people worldwide, appears to have been contained in the country after isolating the city of Wuhan with its population of more than 11 million, from January 23 to April 8. While the market closed on the first of January.

 Experts agree that the Corona virus appeared at the end of 2019 in a market in the city where wild animals are sold. The virus may be transmitted from animals in this market to humans.

Continuous sale of live animals, turtles and frogs

Evidence of continuing concern prevailing in Wuhan a week after the lifting of the isolation, he posted banners reminiscent of the ban on the sale of wild animals and even live poultry in the city's largest market, Paishachu.

 And the trader expresses his anger at the criticism that popular markets are hotbeds of virus outbreaks, noting that their profits have fallen to a third compared to the period before the isolation.


  And a team from the French News Agency registered in three markets of the city that continued to sell live animals such as turtles, frogs, fish and shellfish, but not poultry and wild mammals.

  Abroad, the presence of these markets raises concern, especially in Australia, where Prime Minister Scott Morris considered he "does not understand" the reason for reopening it. He said this week in a televised speech, "We must protect people from possible sources of the epidemic by this type of virus."

"Prejudgments"

In Beijing, the national "Global Times" rushed Tuesday to defend popular markets, condemning Western "prejudices" and the idea of its "silly" closure.
