The macaques in Britain's tiny enclave of Gibraltar are Europe's only wild population of monkeys.

Authorities in Britain's tiny enclave of Gibraltar, fearful of a coronavirus epidemic among its famous Barbary monkeys, have banned tourists from touching the animals.

With the arrival of the coronavirus, it"will be taking strict measures to prevent contact with the macaques," the government said in a statement late Friday. It published a bill"which will make touching or other interference with the natural behaviour of macaques an offence except under licence for management, research or veterinary purposes."
