A 17-year-old girl in Tin Shui Wai was diagnosed with the new crown virus earlier this month and confirmed to carry the British variant virus, but the source has not been found.
The Centre for Health Protection announced yesterday (16th) that the surface of a frozen crocodile meat package in the refrigerator compartment of a woman's home tested positive for the new crown virus, but the girl sneezed when she opened the refrigerator.
Professor Pan Liewen of the School of Public Health of the University of Hong Kong said in Hong Kong and Taiwan this morning (16th) that it is difficult to prove that the infection is the source of the infection just by relying on a frozen package, and there is no way to rule out that the infected person has contaminated the environment.

Pan Liewen pointed out that any virus can generally survive for a long time at low temperatures. If the temperature of the refrigerated compartment is below 0 degrees Celsius, the virus can survive for several weeks, but the longer the time, the lower the virus' infectivity.
Are you sure that frozen crocodile meat buns are the source?
Pan said that although Beijing, New Zealand and other places have detected the new crown virus in imported goods, there is no scientific evidence that can prove the transmission and reproduction ability of the virus on the goods.
Even if the virus detected on the frozen crocodile meat package is the same as the genetic sequence of the girl’s infection, there is no way to rule out that the infected person has contaminated the environment.
He reminded the public to wash the package with water after purchasing the frozen package or other goods, and the food should be cooked and washed frequently to avoid infection.
