Why dragon fruit again? Zhuang Jianlin, deputy director of the Shanghai Changning District Center for Disease Control and Prevention, mentioned in an interview with Jiefang Daily Shangguan News, "If you regularly buy fruit, you should find that bulk dragon fruit is basically wrapped in a transparent bag." When imported food is imported, most of them are transported through air channels in whole boxes, and the disinfection of each link of the channel can only involve the outer packaging level, but if the fruit is picked in the country of origin, the fruit farmers and workers themselves have carried the virus, it is possible to let the virus remain on the peel. ”
Zhuang Jianlin said that it is currently a cold winter season, coupled with the impact of the spread of the new coronavirus variant of Theux Kerong, the recent events such as "dragon fruit carrying the virus" and other related events may still occur, "but this does not mean that these dragon fruits will infect people." "Please don't worry too much, at the end of the supply chain of public contact, the situation of infection because the imported food table carries the new crown virus is still not reported worldwide."
