Can contact items from abroad be infected with COVID-19? Receiving couriers is recommended to do so

Recently, for the first time in Beijing and Shenzhen, confirmed cases of local Omiljung were found, and through traceability, the cases in both places have been in contact with international couriers. On the other hand, the Spring Festival is approaching, and online shopping and sea shopping are also ushering in a peak period, which makes the general public once again pay great attention to the safety of international imported mail. In the face of the menacing COVID-19 epidemic in Omicron, Shanghai Post strictly implements the epidemic prevention and control requirements of the express delivery industry, and all imported mail needs to go through multiple checkpoints such as six-sided killing and 48-hour static isolation from arrival to delivery. At the same time, the public is reminded to give priority to the contactless handover of imported mail and do a good job in disinfection. Imported mail needs to be killed on six sides and left in place for 48 hours It is understood that Shanghai Post has specially set up a quarantine area of the International Mail Exchange Bureau, which is independently set up outside the internal processing site of the Exchange Bureau, responsible for the elimination and standing of all imported foreign mail entering the International Mail Exchange Bureau and mail in high-risk areas, and implementing closed-loop management. At the same time, the import and export field operations are implemented, and the international import mail and the domestic mail do not interfere with each other.

The reporter saw at the scene of the International Mail Exchange Bureau that postal workers dressed in epidemic prevention uniforms carefully disinfected the mail trucks containing imported mail. In addition to measuring the body temperature of the driver, the doors, brake handles, compartments and other frequently touched parts are also sprayed and disinfected in an all-round way, and then loading and unloading operations are carried out. Previously, the first time after the arrival of imported mail at Pudong Airport, the entire bag of mail was professionally disinfected in the airport reservoir area. After the vehicle is disinfected, the mail will be closed unloaded in the isolation area with a total area of about 2000 square meters, and all imported mail will be sterilized and isolated here and "six-sided killing" will be carried out to ensure that the pouch and mail disinfection and standing time is not less than 48 hours (of which the pouch killing and standing time is not less than 24 hours; the mail disinfection and standing time after the pouch is opened and dismantled is not less than 24 hours). After the end of the killing and static, Shanghai Post will continue to process the mail in the next step, of which the city's mail will be transported by a special person to the internal processing site of the Exchange Bureau for follow-up operation processing; the mail from other provinces and cities will be killed and left to the next station after 24 hours.

In addition to disinfecting imported mail, site disinfection and personnel epidemic prevention are also the top priorities. Among them, the quarantine area of the International Mail Exchange Bureau is disinfected once a day every 4 hours, and the personnel carry out real-name temperature measurement every 4 hours, and the disinfection personnel must wear protective clothing, masks, special gloves, etc. when disinfecting to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the disinfection operation. The internal processing site of the International Mail Exchange Bureau sprays and disinfects the production site every 4 hours, requiring full coverage of the production area and disinfection records.

How can citizens ensure safety when receiving international couriers? In this regard, Shanghai Post reminds: wear a mask when receiving express delivery, give priority to contactless handover, and minimize contact and communication. If you need to sign for the courier in person, keep a distance of more than one meter from the courier.

When picking up and opening courier packages, the outer packaging can be disinfected with chlorine disinfectant or medical alcohol; disposable gloves can also be worn, and try not to touch them directly with your hands. When disassembling, try to carry out outdoors, and the outer packaging should not be taken home, and should be classified according to domestic garbage. When spraying alcohol for disinfection, we must pay attention to safety to prevent fires. After handling the package, remove the gloves in time, pay attention to hand cleaning, and carefully rub your hands according to the "seven-step handwashing method" to avoid touching the mouth, eyes and nose with unclean hands.
