According to CCTV news, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council of China held a press conference on the afternoon of 10 July. At the meeting, Mr Ke-Xin Bi, Director of the Import and Export Food Safety Bureau of the General Administration of Customs, informed that in order to prevent the risk of introducing COVID-19 through imported cold chain foods into the country, Customs had launched inspections for novel coronavirus in imported foods.

As of midnight on July 9, China's Customs had inspected 227,934 samples, including 43,964 product samples, 147,568 inner and outer packaging samples, and 36,402 environmental samples.

于7月3日，在由厄瓜多尔登记No.24887和冷冻的白色腿的三个外包装样品中，从内壁内壁上检测到的核酸-19中的核酸阳性Covid-19的核酸阳性。虾制作与厄瓜多尔注册号681。

同日,厦门海关发现怒cleic acid positives of the novel coronavirus in two samples of frozen white leg shrimp produced with the Ecuadorian registration number 654. Nucleic acid tests of the shrimp body and the internal packaging were both negative, and all the other 227,928 samples tested negative.

专家认为，积极的结果没有代表传染病，但反映了相关企业的食品安全管理系统不是为了秩序。为了保护消费者的健康，习俗总署决定暂停注册厄瓜多尔企业，暂停了相关企业的产品进出口，并采取措施等返回货物和销毁货物暂时被拘留。

根据目前的知识，2019-NCOV不能感染水生动物，但病毒或其核酸可能会在农业，收获，加工，包装和装运过程中污染产品。中国海关的宣布明确表示仅在容器内壁和外包装材料的内壁上检测到阳性率超过147,568％的包装样品。在43,964个产品样本本身和36,402个环境样品中没有检测到阳性。据推测，阳性被外包装或搬运工的受感染包装器污染，但不是来自水生动物或加工链。由于冷链将保护病毒的失活或核酸的变性，冷链产物将在与病毒污染后检测的可能性更高。在大流行期间的处理和加工方面应加强基本生物安全和食品安全措施。感染2019-NCOV的工人不应参与水生产品的生产链，直至恢复。任何易感的动物，如蝙蝠，猫，水貂，麝香猫等，都应远离冷链和产品。应严格执行必要的消毒措施。

NACA would like to remind our Members to strengthen safety management systems in the manufacture of aquatic products during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is reasonable to quarantine products from regions with an outbreak of COVID-19, but the public does not need to fear or be cynical about aquatic products. In contrast, with high contents of quality protein, high unsaturated fatty acids, and micronutrients, eating more aquatic products will better improve human immunity to prevent the disease.
