Shenzhen, a Chinese city 1,100 kilometres from the coronavirus epicentre of Wuhan, has clamped down further than other cities in the nation when it comes to the consumption of animal meat.

The coastal city, located close to the Hong Kong border, has banned people from eating dogs and cats as part of a wider clampdown on the wildlife trade since the coronavirus pandemic began in China.
