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."
