Wear gloves when buying imported food

Recently, imported fruit have been tested positive in many places within Zhejiang Province. Huang Deng introduces that low temperature can make the virus enter a dormant period, resulting in a prolonged survival time. At present, the global pandemic situation is becoming more and more serious, and the risk of importing virus from overseas through the transportation of cold chain goods has increased.

"Coronavirus patients contaminate the fruits and the outer packaging during labor operations, and virus may attach to the surface of the fruits or its outer packaging." Huang Deng believes that a series of people who have direct contact with imported and exported goods such as logistics workers, stevedores, etc. are high-risk groups. They must be strictly protected according to the prevention and control measures. 

Ordinary citizens should go to formal supermarkets and fruit franchise stores to buy imported fruits. In terms of personal protection, although the possibility of consumers contacting with the infectious imported food is very low, this does not mean that they can be taken lightly.  In addition to wearing masks correctly, disposable gloves can be worn  to avoid bare hand contact when you are picking fruits. If you are not wearing gloves, you must wash your hands and sanitize your hands in time.

After bring the cold chain food or fruits home, you should throw away the outer packaging immediately, and then select a suitable method to clean fruits. They can be washed with running water for 10-20 minutes. Or they can cleaned with a qualified fruit cleaner sold on the market, then washed with clean water.

During the processing of cold chain food, the used tools such as containers, knives, and chopping boards should be handled carefully to avoid cross-contamination. The food must be heated thoroughly. A normal cooking temperature (above 70°C) could kill the virus.
