China News Service, Wuxi, January 24 (Reporter Sun Quan) Recently, the news that "an nucleic acid test on the inner surface of imported cherries was positive" in Wuxi has attracted public attention.
On the evening of January 24, a reporter from Chinanews.com visited a number of fruit shops in Wuxi and found that many shops placed cherries in eye-catching locations for promotion, and were equipped with a nucleic acid test certificate to prove their innocence.
On January 22, the Liangxi District Center for Disease Control and Prevention of Wuxi City issued a "Circular", stating that the center found a copy of imported cherries (production date: 2020.12.18) in the normalized monitoring of imported food. The nucleic acid test is positive.

According to the notification, through epidemiological investigations, nucleic acid sampling, centralized isolation of close contacts, storage of surplus food, and comprehensive environmental destruction, a total of 199 environmental, object, and personnel specimens were collected in Liangxi District, Huishan District and Binhu District. The test results were all negative.
The reporter noticed that at the same time as the announcement, there were also various comments about cherries: some netizens said that they would not dare to eat cherries in the near future; some netizens ridiculed that “cherries are expensive anyway. If you can’t afford it, you will not be afraid of being infected.” Some netizens are optimistic, thinking that the chance to realize “cheer freedom” has finally arrived.
In a fruit shop in Huishan District, Wuxi City, the reporter saw boxes of cherries placed in front of the shop, and the staff enthusiastically promoted them to customers who came to the shop.
"This single J cherries 4 catties gift box only costs 99 yuan, and this double J cherries 4 catties gift box also only costs 158 yuan, which is very cost-effective." However, most citizens do not buy it, mostly just Take a look and leave.

"The price is okay, and it's about the same as online." When asked if she was worried, Miss Han said that after returning home, she would disinfect the outer packaging of the fruit bag and clean it carefully before eating. "It shouldn't be a big problem. ."
