Logistics and distribution are tightly woven with epidemic prevention and blockade lines

According to the needs of guangzhou's epidemic prevention and control work, citizens in Guangzhou who receive international express mail during January 16-19, 2022 will receive a warm reminder SMS of "Guangzhou Disease Control", and need to go to the nucleic acid testing point guided by the community within 3 days, and carry out a free nucleic acid test with valid vouchers or "Guangzhou Disease Control" reminder TEXT messages. Since January 20, the city's international express mail recipients, please carry out a free nucleic acid test at the community nucleic acid testing point with valid vouchers or "Guangzhou Disease Control" reminder TEXT messages from the 3rd to 7th day after receiving the goods.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the express logistics industry is in the peak season. According to the Guangdong Postal Administration, there are currently 6 international mail exchange bureaus and 10 express mail supervision centers in the province, mainly in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. International mail is mainly cleared by the International Mail Exchange Bureau and operated by postal enterprises.

Several express delivery giants told this reporter yesterday that they will carry out special killing of international express delivery, and there are also prevention and control measures for staff. FedEx customer service said that international parts will be disinfected when entering the port, and the staff who specialize in handling international parts also have corresponding prevention and control measures. DHL customer service said that every service center in the country will disinfect all facilities, vehicles and other operating platforms, and at the same time, the import and export express will be centrally sprayed and disinfected after loading and packing.

The relevant person in charge of SF Guangzhou said that in accordance with the epidemic prevention requirements and guidelines of the relevant departments in Guangzhou, SF strictly implements the elimination of imported express mail, and the personnel list system is a nucleic acid monitoring every 7 days to reduce the number of links and reduce contact with personnel as much as possible. In addition, there are special measures for the recipient of imported couriers, such as texting reminders and the prominent "sterilized" logo or stamped "disinfected" stamp on the outer packaging of the shipment.

In terms of cross-border e-commerce, Tmall International relevant people said that after the cross-border parcel enters the country, a strict double killing process will be implemented: when the package arrives in China, the killing personnel will kill the outer rain cloth and the appearance of the container, and after standing for enough time, they can be transferred to the sorting link; next, remove the outer rain cloth of the goods before customs clearance, and carry out "six-sided killing" of the package one by one, leaving no dead ends; after the customs clearance is completed, enter a relatively independent "clean" warehouse or area for storage to avoid cross-contamination. At the same time, the operation of the warehouse is also strictly in accordance with the epidemic prevention process, the warehouse is regularly disinfected, the personnel carry out daily health monitoring, and the masks and gloves are worn throughout the process before they can take up their posts.

Consumers can build their own food epidemic prevention wall

The safety of imported fruits has also become a topic of public concern in recent days. Since New Year's Day, dragon fruit imported from many places in the mainland has tested positive for the nucleic acid of the new crown virus, and imported cherries, bananas, and longan have also been "recruited".

Experts in the sterilization department of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention recently pointed out that the new crown virus and its variants need to be infected by "material transmission" or need to meet three conditions: heavy pollution of goods, long survival time of the virus on the surface of the object, and contacts have not taken appropriate protective measures. Some CDC experts said that after buying imported fruits to go home, they are first sprayed or wiped with alcohol or disinfectant wipes on the outer packaging, and then the cleaning method is selected according to the characteristics of the fruit, which can be soaked in water for 10 to 20 minutes.
