Expert: Express delivery is unlikely to be passed from person to person, cold chain food should be eaten raw

　　A few days ago, there have been positive cases of express delivery packages in Inner Mongolia, Beijing and other places.

With the arrival of the "Double 11" online shopping and receiving peak, many people worry that the positive package of express delivery will lead to "material transmission".

　　In this regard, Professor Zhao Wei, director of the Biosafety Research Center of Southern Medical University, said that the outer surface of the express package from the epidemic area is likely to contain the new crown virus, but after long-distance and long-term transportation, the chance of live virus is very small.

　　He said that even if it is a dead virus, there is still nucleic acid, so the nucleic acid test will be positive.

However, dead viruses are inactive and generally not contagious. The public need not panic about this.

However, corresponding protective measures should be taken when receiving express delivery.

　　Zhao Wei believes that what is more noteworthy is the goods from cold chain transportation.

The public try not to buy cold-chain food imported from affected areas, and try to minimize cold-chain foods that are eaten raw. Heat-treated food is basically safe.
