Wang Mengyun says she had no idea the animals are a reservoir of disease when she filmed the programme in Palau three years agoEmergence of new coronavirus similar to other bat-borne pathogens revives calls for ban on eating exotic species

, a Chinese internet celebrity has apologised for posting a video three years ago promoting bat as a tasty food.

She said the video was filmed in Palau, an archipelago in the western Pacific, about three years ago, when she and her team were shooting a tourism programme and trying some local dishes, including bat soup.“The bat tastes very fresh, like chicken meat,” she says.“I didn’t know that bat is a primary reservoir of viruses ... I really did not check the information or explain its dangerous nature,” she said.

According to the National Health Commission nearly 2,000 cases of the new coronavirus have been confirmed, with 324 of them in a critical condition. This echoed the findings of David Robertson, a bioinformatics specialist at the University of Glasgow’s Centre for Virus Research, and statistician Jiang Xiaowei of Xian Jiaotong-Liverpool University, who wrote in a medical discussion forum that new coronavirus’ genome data was “most closely related” to three other bat coronaviruses.
