Zhang Wenhong, a Chinese Epidemic prevention expert, said no cases of New Crown pneumonia have been found because of consumption of imported cold-chain Food, “a probability that is close to when it is lower than even an air crash.” But he also said that the fact that there are none now is no guarantee that there will be none in the future.
According to a Central News Agency report today, eating imported goods infected with New Crown pneumonia? Chinese experts say it hasn’t happened so far.
According to Chinese epidemic prevention expert Zhang Wenhong 24, no cases of Wuhan pneumonia have been found because of the consumption of imported cold-chain food, “the probability is close to when it is lower than even an air crash.
Zhang Wenhong, head of the Shanghai New Coronary Pneumonia Clinical Treatment Expert Group and director of the Department of Infection at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, talked about how to look at imported cold-chain products and the risk of 2019 coronavirus disease transmission in a program broadcast by China’s CCTV on the 24th. Zhang Wenhong said, just look at the odds, so far, Chinese people have not been infected because of buying things imported from abroad, a case has not happened. This also shows that the Customs and Excise Department has repeatedly disinfected and sterilized imported goods, which has done a good job.
For the imported cold chain food packaging virus nucleic acid test positive, Zhang Wenhong said, the surface packaging positive is normal, foreign epidemic is very strong, the imports can only do surface disinfection and sterilization, so there will still be the risk of import. He said that so far China has consumed countless seafood and bought countless things. According to information released by the CDC, no cases of COVID-19 infection have been found as a result of consuming imported cold-chain food.
But Zhang Wenhong also said that there are none now, but there is no guarantee that there will be none in the future.
Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese CDC, also said in an interview with CCTV News on the 24th that the problem of positive virus tests on imported fruit is that the virus has a short survival Time at such temperatures as preserved fruit, and a positive nucleic acid test does not necessarily mean that it is infectious; as long as the fruit is washed with running water before eating, there should be no risk of infection.
According to Punch News, the CDC announced on its official website last October that in the course of a traceability investigation into the local outbreak in Qingdao, the COVID-19 live virus was detected and isolated from a positive sample of the outer packaging of imported frozen cod carried by workers. This is the first time internationally that a live virus has been isolated from the outer packaging of cold-chain food, and it was declared that contact with live virus-contaminated outer packaging can lead to infection.
The Central News Agency said the Shanghai CDC WeChat public number released an article today suggesting wearing medical masks and gloves when handling cold-chain food, especially imported cold-chain food; unpacking the outer packaging in a ventilated environment; soaking and cleaning; cooked food; and boiling and disinfecting kitchen utensils used for cooking.
