  23. Why are imported fruits always “caught”?

  24. Zhuang Jianlin, deputy director of Shanghai Changning District Center for Disease Control and prevention, said, “when imported food enters the country, it is mostly transported in full boxes through air channels. The disinfection of all links in the channels can only involve the outer packaging level. However, if the fruit farmers and workers who pick and package fruits in the country of origin have carried the virus, it is possible to leave the virus on the peel.

  25. He cited the most extreme example, “pitaya with a high load of virus enters China, is distributed to supermarkets and stores at the end of the supply chain, and is purchased by citizens. If citizens do not wear masks, touch the skin of pitaya, then touch their mouth and nose, and then immediately go to medical institutions for nucleic acid testing, it is possible to detect positive.”

  26. Will you be infected after eating?

  27. Feng Zijian, deputy director of the China Center for Disease Control and prevention, once said: the detection of neocoronavirus nucleic acid positive in imported goods only indicates that it has been contaminated, which does not mean that it must be infectious.

  28. If COVID-19 wants to be infectious, it needs two characteristics: first, it must be a live virus. Second, the viral load should be high enough. “In the process of long-distance transportation, most of the viruses attached to the surface have become ‘dead viruses’ or nucleic acid fragments of viruses, which is not a concept with human to human’ live viruses’.”

  29. According to the covid-19 Center for Disease Control and prevention, new crown pneumonia is not a foodborne disease. The risk of infection is very low among the people who eat the fruit. There is no need to panic too much. But we should protect Jiangsu. A series of people who have direct contact with import and export goods, such as logistics workers and stevedores, are high-risk people. They must be protected according to the prevention and control measures for key people.

  30. The Circular of many places on the import of Pitaya also reminded that those who have purchased such fruit should stop eating immediately, and the remaining food should be temporarily stored on site and disposed of by professionals. At the same time, personal protection should be done well, do not contact with others, and report in time.

  31. How is it safer to eat?

  32. When purchasing imported cold chain food and imported fruit, you should go to the regular supermarket or market. Do not buy imported cold chain food and imported fruit from unknown sources. Try to avoid self online shopping, purchasing on behalf of others and overseas shopping for imported cold chain food and imported fruits.

  33. After buying imported fruits, first spray or wipe them with alcohol or disinfectant wipes on the external packaging, and then choose the cleaning method according to the characteristics of the fruits. You can soak them in clean water for 10 to 20 minutes; You can also choose the qualified fruit cleaner on the market for cleaning, and then rinse it with clean water.
