AUSTRALIAN PM URGES WHO & UN TO TAKE STRICT ACTION AGAINST CHINA'S WET MARKETS
Home > News Shots > WorldWith the rise in death toll and positive cases across the world, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison urged the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nation (UN) to act against China's wet markets. As China's wet market in Wuhan is believed to be the source of the coronavirus pandemic, it has currently become the matter of concern.
At a recent interview, to a news channel, Scott Morrison said, "Wet markets were a very real and significant problem wherever they exist. This virus started in China and went round the world. And that's how it started."
"We all know that. And these wet markets can be a real problem when it comes to what can occur in those markets. And I think from a world health point of view, this is something the World Health Organisation should do something about. I mean, all this money that comes out of the UN and the World Health Organisation," Scott Morrison added.
Looking at the confirmed cases globally, the number has reached one million worldwide and more than 51,000 deaths have been reported in more than 175 countries and territories.
Highlighting about China's wet markets, they sell fresh meat of various animals like dogs, cats, bats, snakes and scorpions and many more.
