Willemstad, Curacao. January 18th 2022. The person contaminated with the Omicron variant opened a shipment from Canada that had been sent through the United States and Hong Kong, and transmission via the item "could not be ruled out," according to Chinese health officials.
COVID-19 TRANSMISSION
Even though the World Health Organization has downplayed the risk, China has been an outlier in asserting that COVID-19 can be transmitted via cold-chain imports such as frozen meat and fish, and has said via state media that the virus existed abroad before it was discovered in late 2019 in the central city of Wuhan.
According to the Post Bureau, international mail must be disinfected once it arrives in China, and staff who process and deliver international mail must have received COVID-19 vaccinations and a booster.
Last year, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicated that the risk of contracting coronavirus through contact with contaminated surfaces or products is low. The virus appears to be able to live on cardboard for about 24 hours and on plastic for up to three days.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the disease is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, spreads between people in several different ways:
- Current evidence suggests that the virus spreads mainly between people who are in close contact with each other, for example at a conversational distance. The virus can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe. Another person can then contract the virus when infectious particles that pass through the air are inhaled at short range (this is often called short-range aerosol or short-range airborne transmission) or if infectious particles come into direct contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth (droplet transmission).
- The virus can also spread in poorly ventilated and/or crowded indoor settings, where people tend to spend longer periods of time. This is because aerosols can remain suspended in the air or travel farther than conversational distance (this is often called long-range aerosol or long-range airborne transmission).
- People may also become infected when touching their eyes, nose or mouth after touching surfaces or objects that have been contaminated by the virus.
