Indonesia Temporarily Halts Live Animal Cargoes from China, the Rest Business as Usual
Feb. 6, 2020
Indonesia plans to temporarily halt cargoes of live animals from China to prevent the Wuhan coronavirus from entering the country, but will continue to receive other shipments of goods — via both air and sea — as usual.
“In a Cabinet meeting with President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo [on Tuesday], which was also attended by Transportation Minister, it was decided that we will carry on with our previous arrangements for shipments from China, except for live animals,” Transportation Ministry spokesman Hengki Angkasawan said on Wednesday.
