Since April this year, many places have reported positive packaging of imported fruits, cold chain food and other items, and many places have found that non-cold chain items have been found to be positive.

What is the probability of "material transmission" of Omicron?
A laboratory study by researchers at Kyoto Prefectural Medical University in Japan found that the Omiljun strain can survive longer on plastic surfaces or on human skin than other early COVID-19 variant strains.
According to the results of the biological research preprint website bioRxiv, the researchers tested the average survival time of the new coronavirus strain on the plastic surface at room temperature, which was 56 hours for the original strain, 114 hours for the Delta strain, and 193.5 hours for the Olmikron strain, showing that the Omilon strain could survive on the plastic surface for up to 8 days. In addition, the survival time on the surface of human skin models is also the longest in Omi kerong.
How should individuals protect themselves?
The spread of the Olmikron strain is stronger, and it is quite critical to do a good job in the prevention of the characters and compact the contact links of the characters.
