GEORGE TOWN: Local authorities in Penang are keeping a close watch on wet markets to check the sale of exotic meat in light of the novel coronavirus outbreak in China.

Penang Island City Council (MBPP) Public Health and Licensing Committee alternate chairman Nicholas Theng said so far, they have not come across any exotic meat being sold openly in the markets.
