The sale and slaughter of live animals such as softshell turtles at wet markets here is under review amid efforts to improve safety standards.

Senior Minister of State for the Environment and Water Resources Amy Khor told Parliament yesterday that the ministry will outline the results of the review once they are ready.

He was referring to the suspected links between Covid-19 and a seafood market in Wuhan that sold live and dead creatures such as bats, civets and snakes as food, where the disease has been said to have originated. Dr Khor noted that there is little risk of transmission associated with the sale and slaughter of reptiles such as softshell turtles, citing evaluations done by the Singapore Food Agency in consultation with the National Parks Board and the National Environment Agency.
