"Beijing claims that the corona virus is in the packets of fish imported from abroad".
The Corona virus has been found on a packet of imported marine fish in the port city of Qingdao, China, according to a news release today. According to the Chinese customs office, a company called Bose International of India has stopped importing fish for one week.
The Chinese administration claims that this is the first time the corona virus has been found outside a packet sent from abroad. However, they also confirmed that the infection has not spread anywhere.
The coronavirus was reportedly found inside a packet of imported shrimp. A ban on shrimp imports has been in place since the incident. In addition, surveillance has been stepped up to see if there is any corona virus in other products coming from abroad.
The city of Qingdao in China has recently been infected with the corona virus, but local authorities are reportedly investigating how the infection spread. Commenting on the CDC, a Chinese news outlet reported that the news of the presence of corona virus on Asha packets from abroad came to light mainly after searching for the source of the corona virus infection.
According to a state-run news outlet, the corona virus could spread from all the food packets that arrived in Qingdao, China, from abroad. According to the CDC, the corona virus is known to be found on about 20 food packets as a result of constant testing on foreign packets.
In addition, the coronavirus was found in a packet of beef from Brazil today, according to the Uhan City Health Commission.
