China’s Xinfadi market has reportedly suspended the sale and storage of chilled and frozen meat and seafood products after reports of new Covid-19 infections.
Reuters reported that the Chinese Government officials have increased the inspections on cold-chain goods, after identifying several new cases of infections in the region.
Located in Beijing, Xinfadi is China’s largest seafood market and was at the centre of a Covid-19 outbreak in June.
The frozen and fresh products in the food market were disposed and more than a hundred cold storage units shut down their power after completion of the disinfection process.
No locally transmitted infections involving the market or cold-chain food products were reported in the Beijing region, but the move is said to be precautionary measure as the people handling imported frozen food in the cities of Qingdao and Tianjin contracted the virus in recent months.
Beijing News reported that the market authorities on a day-to-day basis will be conducting virus checks at warehouses and cold-storage facilities, which store fruits and vegetables.
Earlier this week, various news agencies reported that Chinese authorities detected coronavirus in imported beef and seafood.
China’s Centre for Disease Control and customs officials said that the exterior packages and inside containers had the virus.
The authorities have reportedly increased mass-testing campaigns after receiving reports of Covid-19 traces on imported food.
It is reported that the authorities have also ordered the suspension of certain imports.
Last month, the Chinese Government reportedly planned to ban the artificial breeding of 45 wild animal species to minimise the risk of zoonotic diseases after the Covid-19 outbreak.
China banned the consumption of wild animals in the country soon after the outbreak.
