Since the outbreak of the epidemic, there have been many cold chain outbreaks in many places

According to incomplete statistics from Health Times, since the outbreak of the epidemic in early 2020, the source of 6 local clusters of epidemics has been imported cold chain products.

Dalian epidemic: 3 times related to imported cold chain food

In July 2020, the outbreak in Dalian was suspected to have originated in the processing workshop of a seafood company. On August 3, a press conference on epidemic prevention and control in Dalian introduced that the epidemic was a cluster outbreak related to the processing of cold chain seafood products.

In December 2020, the initial infected people in the epidemic in Dalian Jinpu New Area were imported cold chain food movers and unloaders. According to the press conference on epidemic prevention and control in Dalian on January 3, 2021, the initial determination of the epidemic stems from imported cold chain products contaminated by the new crown virus, and the vast majority of cases are infected and spread by dock workers because they are carrying bulk goods positive for the new crown virus on Russian freighters.

In November 2021, Dalian broke out again. According to the circulation information, the first confirmed case came from the first fixed-point cold storage in Zhuanghe City. The employees of the first station fixed cold storage were diagnosed, and then the employees of the food company were diagnosed, followed by the confirmed students of the canteen restaurant.

Tianjin Eco-City epidemic: related to imported frozen pig heads

On November 8 and 9, 2020, two new cases of covid-19 infection in Tianjin were highly correlated with the cold storage of Tianjin Hailian Frozen Food Co., Ltd. of the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City. On November 24, the 155th press conference on epidemic prevention and control in Tianjin introduced that the source of infection in Tianjin Hailian cold storage was pig heads imported from North America.

Qingdao Port Epidemic: Related to imported frozen cod

In September 2020, during the regular routine testing of the "due diligence" personnel of Qingdao Port Dagang Company, Shandong Province, 2 stevedores were found to be infected with the new crown. Subsequently, they shared the CT room with ordinary inpatients during isolation and observation at Qingdao Chest Hospital, leading to further spread of the epidemic.

On July 23, 2021, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Weekly Report (English) disclosed details of two stevedores infected with the new crown virus, including taking off masks to smoke, wearing masks to show their noses, and washing their hands improperly when boarding foreign ships and loading and unloading frozen cod.

Outbreak in Xinfadi, Beijing: Related to imported frozen salmon

On 11 June 2020, there was a new confirmed case in Beijing. As of 24:00 on August 6, a cumulative total of 335 confirmed cases of the new cluster in Beijing had been reported.

In the October 23, 2020 issue of the National Science Review, "The recurrence of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Beijing may stem from cold chain food contamination", it is mentioned that the source of the virus is most likely to be cold chain imported food in areas with high incidence of the epidemic abroad. Further investigation revealed that the chilled salmon sold at booth S14 was the only commodity from overseas, and then the cold storage of all salmon suppliers in Xinfadi Market was sampled and tested, and 5 fish swab samples were positive for new coronavirus nucleic acid, and the detection genome sequence of 1 unopened fish body swab sample was highly homologous to the virus in the human and environmental environment.

In addition, in the past year, some imported fruits involved in low-temperature transportation and storage, such as kiwifruit, dragon fruit, cherries, etc., have also been tested positive for new crown, but there are no reports of ordinary consumers being infected as a result.

The New Year is approaching, buy imported cold chain food pay attention to these points!

At the press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Beijing on January 20, Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, reminded that it is necessary to avoid online shopping and purchasing cold chain food overseas and domestic areas with case reports as much as possible.

If you need to buy, you should go to the regular market or supermarket with legal business qualifications to buy, imported cold chain food can scan the "Beijing cold chain" traceability code to view product testing inspection and traceability information.

When purchasing, personal protection such as wearing masks correctly and maintaining hand hygiene should be done to avoid direct contact with cold chain food. Prepackaged imported cold chain food is recommended to replace or clean and disinfect the outer packaging.

When processing, it is necessary to separate raw and cooked, cook thoroughly, pay attention to cleaning hands, avoid touching the eyes, mouth and nose with your hands, and pay attention to kitchen ventilation, cleaning and disinfection. Meal sharing is advocated. If you are unwell, seek medical treatment in time according to the regulations, and do not buy medicines and take medicines yourself.
