Etsy is cracking down on merchants trying to make a quick buck off the Covid-19 outbreak with virus-themed merchandise or products that claim to protect against it.

The e-commerce website removed all item listings mentioning the coronavirus or Covid-19, from shirts to mugs and soaps which feature jokes about the disease.
