EU is pushing for a global deal aimed at preventing new pandemics that could include a ban on wildlife markets and incentives for countries to report new viruses or variants
Incentives for countries reporting new pathogens could include guaranteed access to medicines and vaccines.
Among measures the EU wants to be included in the treaty is a gradual shutdown of wildlife markets, the EU official said. Last year, southern African nations were hit with punishing flight restrictions after they identified the Omicron coronavirus variant, which some fear could deter reporting of future outbreaks if incentives are not attractive enough.
