A new study in which scientists added SARS-CoV-2 to
supermarket salmon, chicken and pork found that three weeks later, the virus
was still in the food, whether it had been refrigerated or frozen.
The meats came from Singapore. While scientists have known
that the virus can survive very cold temperatures, the World Health
Organization said the possibility of contracting it from food or food packaging
is not something to fear.
The researchers, on the other hand, said that “the potential
for movement of contaminated items to a region with no COVID-19 and initiate an
outbreak is an important hypothesis."
