COVID-19: Chinese Frozen Seafood Product Found With SARS-CoV-2 Strains, Possibly Exported

A new Chinese report found a few batches of frozen seafood products that were positive with Coronavirus. All the locals that bought the batches were now under quarantine, to know their status. So far, no reports of additional cases were resulted from eating the cold seafood. However, outside Chinese countries, must be alarmed after the country confirms that there were 'small quantity' from those batches that were exported.


Could COVID-19 live in frozen seafood?

In June, Tech Times already reported about the cases of possible COVID-19 contamination in seafood products, specifically salmon.

At the time, the Chinese government decided to stop all exports of salmon to other countries, as the positive cases from those products were reported.

However, the World Health Organization (WHO) did not support this claim.

"I think we need to look at what has happened in this case, I don't believe it is the primary hypothesis. But it needs to be explored," said WHO in the interview.
