According to Lei Jie, the chief expert in the field of emergency public health incidents of the Shandong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the expert group concluded that the new coronavirus carried by some of the affected milk dates in Zaozhuang is more likely to be nucleic acid fragments or dead viruses that infect people. The probability is extremely low.
So far, people in Shandong province and some provinces have reported that people who have consumed the product have not found a positive result.
“If the public has eaten this batch of milk dates involved in the epidemic, don’t panic. According to the news released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, so far there has been no case of COVID-19 infection due to consumption of imported cold chain food.”
Lei Jie said that processing companies in Zaozhuang City began to use these raw materials to process milk dates on January 5. The processing company employees and their families have all been tested for nucleic acid and serum antibodies. So far, they have all been negative and have exceeded the incubation period of the disease. It can be determined that the employees of processing enterprises and their families, the highest-risk group involved, are safe so far.
"The nucleic acid test results show that the viral load is extremely low. According to previous literature and observations, this viral load has not been reported on human infection, so the possibility of human infection is extremely low."
