Indonesia to halt livestock imports from China over coronavirus fears
Indonesia's plan to ban all food and beverage products imported from China was reconsidered and the interdiction will apply only for livestock imports, said Airlangga Hartarto, chief economic affairs minister, according to the New York Times. "The methods of disease transmission are by human-to-human and through wild animals, so the government's policy is to ban imports of live animals from China. If any had been shipped for Indonesia, we will return them," he said after a meeting with other government officials.
At the beginning of the week, the country's trade minister announced that all the food and beverages imported from China will be banned as a precaution to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
For now, Indonesia hasn't reported any case of coronavirus and the authorities intend to keep the status of coronavirus-free as they fear that an epidemic may have a huge impact on tourism.
