JAKARTA, AYOBANDUNG.COM – A recent research question corona suggests salmon meat has the potential to carry the virus corona the cause of Covid-19. This study from Chinese researchers shows traces of the virus corona in salmon can be contagious for more than a week.
Scientists from the Agricultural University of South China and the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Guangzhou collected virus samples from salmon. Then, they noted the virus in salmon can last up to 8 days at a temperature of 3.8 degrees Celsius.
“Fish contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 from one country can easily spread to other countries within a week. So this salmon can be a source of international transmission,” said the researchers quoted by Fox News.
These findings also contradict suggestions by health agencies regarding the transmission of the virus corona Covid-19 through food.
The CDC says there is no evidence to suggest that eating or handling certain foods can transmit the virus corona in August 2020.
So far, the health protection agency has only recommended washing hands with soap and water for 20 seconds after handling packages, before preparing food, and when eating.
The CDC also reports that the most common way to spread the virus corona Covid-19 is person-to-person contact, including from droplets in the air after someone coughs or sneezes.
The FDA also says the virus cannot survive on imported food packaging and depends on its surface. If you can, the virus can only last for a short time, ranging from a few hours to days.
However, the virus can also be spread by infected food workers if they don’t wash their hands properly after using the bathroom.
